EURO 2024 | A MINIMAL DEFEAT AT THE START, SERBIA DESERVED MORE

There were no apparent chances in front of the goals, the greatest danger was from the set play, but the goalkeepers did not have a lot of work. The only important moment to record is 43^rd minute when Filip Kostić had to leave the pitch due to an injury and was replaced by Filip Mladenović.

In the second half Ivan Ilić got a chance and replaced Nemanja Gudelj. Serbia started more aggressively, and more decisively. We were out for a score, pressed high, and acted much better than in the opening minutes of the first half. There were hints we could score, one seemed to be in the 59^th minute after Mladenović broke through and Mitrović was down, but Orsato just waved his hand. Two more changes followed, Jović and Tadić replaced Mitrović and Lukić. The pressure in front of Pickford’s net continued, but there was no score change. The English had a chance through Kane, but the ball that many saw in the net Rajković turned into a bar and out. An attempt by Vlahović is also worth mentioning, but the ball ended just over the bar.

The Eagles play their next match with Slovenia in Munich, on 20^th of June.
