Serbia in 1-1 draw after political incidents

Substitute Luka Jovic saved the day for Serbia, as he headed a last-gasp goal to salvage a 1-1 draw with Slovenia in an entertaining Euro 2024 Group C clash in Munich on June 20.

A brilliantly worked goal from right-back Zan Karnicnik had given Slovenia the lead and put them on the brink of their first-ever Euro win, before Jovic nodded home from a corner five minutes into added time.

“It is amazing to score like this but I would easily change that for the win,” said the Serbian scorer. “Slovenia were really good. It was very hard for us to handle them but this is the fairest result.”

Slovenia missed several good chances before Karnicnik drove upfield from the edge of his own penalty area, released the ball to Timi Elsnik and then met a beautiful return cross to slot past Predrag Rajkovic in the 69th minute.

The Serbs failed to capitalise on periods of superiority despite the menace of veteran striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, until Jovic struck to leave Slovenian fans distraught.
