Slovenia Misses Out on Victory Against Serbia in UEFA EURO 2024 Qualifier
National Results from Slovenia in the 2024 European Elections
Promising Play in the Final Third and a Few Scratchy Touches
In a pulsating encounter, Slovenia was denied a precious victory against Serbia in their UEFA EURO 2024 qualifying match on Thursday. Despite a spirited performance, Luka Jovic's last-gasp equalizer left the home side rueing a missed opportunity to secure three valuable points.
Slovenia started brightly and created several promising chances in the opening period. However, their finishing lacked precision as they failed to convert their dominance into goals.
Serbia, who had been relatively quiet in the first half, grew into the game after the interval. They played with greater intensity and began to create chances of their own.
With the clock ticking down, it looked as though Slovenia had done enough to earn a narrow victory. However, Jovic had the final say. In the dying seconds of the match, he received a cross from the right and buried a header into the back of the net.
The result leaves Slovenia in third place in Group C, while Serbia remains top with two wins from two matches. Both teams will now turn their attention to their next qualifiers in June.
