Red Star Belgrade 5-0 Larne
Red Star Belgrade book their place in the third qualifying round of the Champions League after a dominant displace across two legs.
A Marko Arnautovic double either side of the break, an early Aleksandar Katai strike and two second half goals from Loizos Loizou and substitute Osman Bukari make it five goals on the night for the Serbian champions.
Gary Haveron's side will now drop into the Europa League third qualifying round.
Red Star Belgrade 5-0 Larne
Substitute Conor McKendry fires wide of the near post with Larne's first real shot at goal after 88 minutes.
Osman Bukari (79 mins)
It's a fifth for Red Star as substitute Osman Bukari gets in on the action with a finish into the roof of the net.
Aleksandar Katai finds Bukari with a sublime long range pass, with the winger doing the rest.
Red Star Belgrade 4-0 Larne
With just over 20 minutes left on the clock, Larne fans will fear that Red Star could further add to their tally.
It was always going to be a tough night for the Inver Reds in Serbia and it has proved that way.
Marko Arnautovic (60 mins)
Red Star have their fourth and it's a second of the night for Marko Arnautovic.
Rade Krunic finds Loizos Loizou in acres of space down the right who unselfishly fires across goal to Arnautovic who slots home from close range with the easiest of goals.
Loizou could easily have gone for goal himself but instead sets up his strike partner for the easiest of tap-ins.
Loizos Loizou (49 mins)
Red Star Belgrade breach the Larne defence for a third time this evening as Loizos Loizou fires home from close range after a gift from Rohan Ferguson.
Ferguson tries to play the ball out from the back but instead misplaces his pass to Loizou, who makes no mistake and fires home from inside the area.
He might have made multiple saves in the first half, but Ferguson has cost his side this time around.
Red Star Belgrade 2-0 Larne
The second half begins at the Stadion Rajko Mitić in Belgrade.
Will the home side add another few goals to really rub salt in the wounds, or can Gary Haveron's side stand strong for 45 minutes and frustrate the Serbian champions?
Red Star Belgrade 2-0 Larne
Aleksandar Katai's early strike and Marko Arnautovic's late goal makes it 2-0 at the break to the hosts.
It's going to be a long 45 minutes in the second half for the visitors, who now trail 6-0 on aggregate to the dominant Serbian side.
Marko Arnautovic (45+4 mins)
Marko Arnautovic finally has his goal as he fires powerfully beyond the helpless Rohan Ferguson and into the roof of the net to double Red Star Belgrade's advantage on the night just before the break.
Just as it looked like the visitors would be going in just one goal behind at half-time, Arnautovic finds the back of the net with a thunderous strike.
Red Star Belgrade 1-0 Larne
Rohan Ferguson once again makes a smart save, this time to deny Muhammed Cham from doubling the hosts' lead.
The Larne goalkeeper has made some vital stops so far in the first half and is certainly frustrating the Red Star Belgrade attackers.
Red Star Belgrade 1-0 Larne
Alksandar Katai forces another great stop from Rohan Ferguson as he tries to catch the Larne keeper out with a chip from outside the area.
Moments later, Red Star come close once again, this time as the ball flashes across goal and just escapes the outstretched leg of Marko Arnautovic.
Red Star Belgrade 1-0 Larne
Matej Strika is the width of the post away from doubling Red Star Belgrade's lead as his left-footed effort strikes the outside of the near upright.
The hosts continue to dominate proceedings as they go in search of a second goal before half-time.

Rohan Ferguson makes an outstanding double save to deny both Marko Arnautovic and Muhammed Cham from close range.
Red Star Belgrade 1-0 Larne
Loizos Loizou has the ball in the back of the net after a superb solo effort, but referee Elchin Masiyev blows his whistle after an offside call by the linesman on the near side.
It's a wonderful goal by Loizou, but thankfully for Larne fans, it won't count.
Red Star Belgrade 1-0 Larne
Marko Arnautovic strikes from inside the area but sees his shot blocked on the six-yard line by Dan Bent.
Moments later the former Premier League star heads over the crossbar after a well-worked corner routine.

Dylan Sloan goes to ground inside the area under the challenge of a Red Star defender, but referee Elchin Masiyev says no foul and play continues.
Larne were beaten 4-0 in the first leg at Inver Park
Red Star Belgrade breezed past Larne and ended their Champions League qualifying campaign with a comprehensive 5-0 victory at the Stadion Rajko Mitic.
Dejan Stankovic's side were in control over the Irish Premiership champions after a one-sided 9-0 aggregate scoreline across two legs.
A Marko Arnautovic double, an early Aleksandar Katai strike and goals from Loizos Loizou and substitute Osman Bukari in the second half made sure it was Red Star who would progress after last week's 4-0 win at Inver Park.
Defeat means Gary Haveron's side will now drop into the third qualifying round of the Europa League and will face Georgia's Iberia 1999.
It took just three minutes for the hosts to breach the Larne defence for the first time on the night as Katai beat the offside trap and fired into the bottom corner.
Katai thought he had his second 13 minutes later, but saw his header ruled out for offside by video assistant referee [VAR].
Just as it looked like the visitors would be going in at the break one goal behind in the second leg, Arnautovic struck with a powerful effort into the roof of the net to double the hosts' advantage on the stroke of half-time.
Despite making multiple key saves in the first half, Rohan Ferguson gifted Red Star their third goal just four minutes into the second half after he misplaced a pass into Loizou's path, who calmly converted.
Arnautovic grabbed his second of the night on the hour mark with the easiest of tap-ins before substitute Bukari put the icing on the cake for the Serbian champions with their fifth 11 minutes from time.
