Missed chances in Lille were severely punished - Red Star players were eliminated in the Europa League playoffs.

Dinamo Zagreb also said goodbye to Europe, although they had a reaction after a 3:1 defeat at Maksimir to Genk.
"The Blues" responded in kind in Belgium, reaching extra time (a goal by Bakrar and two by Stojković), but it wasn't enough.
Genk reduced the score to 3:2 in the 101st minute through Ita, and then tied the score at the end of the second overtime (Hejmans) after Dinamo, who were 103 up, were left with ten men due to Stojković's sending off.
