Slovenia vs Serbia - Euro 2024: Serbia eye first points in crunch Group C clash (2024)

Winner takes all tie in Munich

Serbia will take on Denmark at the Allianz Arena in their final group game.

Unless something remarkable happens in their game against England later today, it should be a winner takes all match between the pair to see who progresses.

This could lead to a brilliant open game of attacking football with both Serbia and Denmark trying to ensure their Euro 2024 campaign does not end early.

Evenly-matched tie ends all square

Both teams had periods of the game where they began to dominate.

We have come to expect more from this Serbian side, as do their fans but they will be revelling in that last-gasp equaliser today.

Dragan Stojkovic's side will fancy their chances of getting a positive result against Denmark in their final group game.

Slovenia still unbeaten in Group C

With two draws from their first two games, Matjaz Kek's side have yet to taste defeat.

They never expected to qualify from the group stage but will reflect on what could have been.

If they want to do that now, it would require them beating England in their final game.

Highs and lows of tournament football

Both teams, and their fans, went through the full range of emotions there.

The one Slovenia will remember is that stomach turning feeling of conceding with the last kick of the game, seconds away from a first victory in the Euros.

If either of these teams want to make it out of the group, they still have plenty to do.

FT: Slovenia 1-1 Serbia

Over the duration of the game, you would have to say that the draw was probably a fair result.

Not that many Slovenian fans will agree with that.

They were moments away from a memorable victory.

FT: Slovenia 1-1 Serbia

The referee brings the game to a close.

Jovic's header keeps their dream alive of qualifying from the group.

That late equaliser puts a different spin on the England game later now.

90+4. The pitch is starting to look Glastonbury on the Monday afternoon post-event.

Serbia's fans are not happy with losing this one that is for sure.

Flares are going off behind Oblak's goal now.

20th Jun 2024, 15:51By Kieran Davies

Slovenia 1-0 Serbia

90+2. It is batten down the hatches time for Slovenia.

Jovic is shown a yellow card for trying to tear the ball from Slovenian hands.

As the cross comes in, he tries an elaborate overhead kick but the ball trickles through to Oblak.

20th Jun 2024, 15:49By Kieran Davies

Slovenia 1-0 Serbia

90. Another cross is swung into the box but once again the quality is poor as it runs straight through to Oblak.

He falls on the ball and looks to take some time out of the game.

We are going to have five added minutes.

20th Jun 2024, 15:46By Kieran Davies

Slovenia 1-0 Serbia

88. The Serbia fans are launching empty plastic pint glasses at the Slovenia player taking a throw in.

All of the ground around him looks like most parents' houses the morning after some crazy house party.

UEFA should do something about this, it is not what we want to see.

20th Jun 2024, 15:45By Kieran Davies

Slovenia 1-0 Serbia

86. Slovenia are having to deal with a barrage of crosses and shots.

Oblak punches clear once again and the follow up shot is brilliantly blocked by a sliding challenge.

This is great defending from the Slovenians.

20th Jun 2024, 15:43By Kieran Davies

Slovenia 1-0 Serbia

84. Serbia win a free kick deep in the Slovenia half.

Chance to put a dangerous cross into the box for Mitrovic.

Slovenia 1-0 Serbia

82. Samardzic tries his luck from the edge of the box.

It is not a million miles away from the far post but Oblak had it covered all the way.

Slovenia are having to withstand some pressure now.

20th Jun 2024, 15:40By Kieran Davies

Slovenia 1-0 Serbia

80. Serbia continue to pass the ball around, patiently trying to create something.

As we saw in the Croatia game yesterday, these games can change in a matter of minutes if your concentration levels drop.

Stojkovic makes another couple of changes in their desperate search for a goal.

20th Jun 2024, 15:37By Kieran Davies

Slovenia 1-0 Serbia

78. Time is starting to run out for Dragan Stojkovic's side.

For Slovenia, it is all about game management now.

Holding onto the ball and making Serbia chase the game.

Karnicnik shoots from outside the box but it goes narrowly wide of the far post.

20th Jun 2024, 15:35By Kieran Davies

Slovenia 1-0 Serbia

76. Slovenia make some changes to try and hold onto their lead.

Serbia continue to pepper the box with crosses but they just cannot find the back of the net.

As Slovenia break once again, they have Serbia stretched but the keeper manages to retrieve the ball.

Slovenia 1-0 Serbia

74. What a result this would be for Matjaz Kek's side.

It would put them within touching distance of the knockout phase.

Serbia are awarded a free in a dangerous position outside the box.

20th Jun 2024, 15:31By Kieran Davies

Slovenia 1-0 Serbia

72. What a chance for Serbia to equalise.

As the ball is swung in, it falls perfectly to Mitrovic six yards from goal.

He hits it on the half volley but it takes the slightest of deflections off the goalscorer, thunders against the crossbar and comes back out into play.

20th Jun 2024, 15:29By Kieran Davies

Slovenia 1-0 Serbia

70. It was a great ball into the back post and right back got enough of a contact to send it into the bottom corner.

That goal really opens this match up now.

Serbia need to throw bodies forward now if they are going to find two goals to win this game.

20th Jun 2024, 15:26By Kieran Davies

Slovenia 0-0 Serbia

68. Stojanovic makes a great little run into the box.

He goes down under a challenge, looking to the referee for a decision.

As the replay shows, he went down a little too easily there and the referee agreed.

20th Jun 2024, 15:25By Kieran Davies

Slovenia 0-0 Serbia

66. This is officially the longest we have gone without a goal in the game at Euro 2024.

Not the sort of record either of these teams want to be associated with.

Drajon Stojkovic is start to look more and more frustrated on the sideline.

20th Jun 2024, 15:24By Kieran Davies

Slovenia 0-0 Serbia

64. Both teams opt to make some changes.

Slovenia come on the attack but Stojanovic is dispossessed on the edge of the box.

Serbia counter and Mitrovic fires a shot off well over the crossbar, much to the irritation of his manager.
