Pascual demands a response
Head coach Xavi Pascual called Dubai's performance a "catastrophic" 40 minutes. He said his side had competed only in the opening period before losing control.
Pascual faulted the defense and the team's failure to share the ball. He also said Dubai lacked energy.
Dubai stayed within reach for stretches of the first half, but Pascual said his players needed a stronger response after the break. Red Star's eight-point run instead dented their confidence. The gap grew as Dubai struggled to create and convert chances. Serbian outlet Politika also reported that Red Star took control and Dubai could not mount a comeback.
Pascual said Dubai must change its rhythm quickly and focus on the next game.
