The National Team of Serbia has unexpectedly suffered a convincing defeat by the excellent National Team of Denmark. Our players took an early lead, and they had another excellent goal scoring opportunity in the first ten minutes of play, but it was almost all that they have done.

The National Team of Denmark has afterwards taken the game into their own hands, by more organized game in the centre of the pitch, they did not allow to our players to show what they know. The “Eagles” had only a few situations where they could attack their opponent, but they were not able to have something more than that.
