　　BELGRADE, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) -- Serbian champion Red Star Belgrade lost to Danish Midtjylland by 1-0 in the fourth round of group stage at the UEFA Europa League in Belgrade on Thursday.

　　The guest team pressured Red Star from the beginning of the match at Rajko Mitic stadium but failed to materialize their advantage during the first half.

　　Midtjylland achieved the decisive score through Evander, whose shot was blocked by Guelor Kanga but deflected and shook the net of Red Star goalkeeper Milan Borjan, which was counted as an own goal.

　　Previously undefeated in the group stage, Red Star remains second in Group F behind Braga, but only two points ahead of the third-ranked Midtjylland with two more matches to be played in the group stage.

　　Both teams will host upcoming matches as Red Star will welcome Ludogorets on Nov. 25 and Midtjylland meet Braga. Enditem
