Ivan Perisic was another fantastic performer for the home side. The winger picked up balls in key areas of the pitch, dragged defenders out to make room - a key aspect in football that needs to be executed in order to break teams that flood their own halves.

The Croatian was wily and direct with the ball, running at the opponents with confidence and playing accurate passes into the box. His switch of flanks impressed one and all, as that was what led to a sense of confusion among the Red Star full backs.

The same procedure also led to the goal, when himself and Coman exchanged positions. While Perisic worked as the creator, the latter finished off the chance with an unstoppable header from close range.

Further, Perisic's trickery, burst of pace and explosion with the ball proved fruitful against a team that placed everyone in their ranks behind the ball. He should have got on the score sheet himself, having done all the hard work in getting behind, expressing great control and beating the keeper - but not the crossbar, unfortunately.
