Serbia were narrowly beaten in their opening match against England football, but will have a chance to get their Euro 2024 campaign up and running against Slovenia.

After the first round of fixtures, England topped the group, with Denmark second, after their 1-1 draw against Slovenia.

Slovenia wore black armbands during their Euro 2024 opener to pay tribute to Matija Sarkic who passed away aged 26 on Saturday.

Serbia had their chances against England, and Aleksandar Mitrovic had a shot that went just wide, and the country will be hoping he can find the form he has shown for Fulham and in the Saudi Pro League.

Jovic snatches last-gasp equaliser for Serbia in 1-1 draw against Slovenia

Serbia substitute Luka Jovic headed a last-gasp equaliser to salvage a 1-1 draw with Slovenia in an entertaining Group C clash at Euro 2024 on Thursday.

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

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.

Serbia failed to capitalise on periods of superiority despite the menace of veteran striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, who saw a close range shot deflected by Karnicnik onto the woodwork, until Jovic struck.

The result at the Munich Football Arena put Slovenia in second place on two points with group leaders England to come in their third and final Group C game. Serbia, bottom with one point, face Denmark next.
