ROME (Reuters) - Lazio and Olympique Marseille drew 0-0 to keep alive their hopes of reaching the Europa League knockout stages and Red Star Belgrade stayed on course with a 1-1 draw at Denmark's Midtjylland on Thursday.

Chances went begging at both ends as Lazio striker Ciro Immobile hit the woodwork and had a goal scrapped for marginal offside after a VAR check while Marseille goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha produced a string of saves in Rome.
