Slovenia 1-0 Serbia
Stephen Warnock
Former England and Aston Villa defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveI have been waiting for a goal, we've just been talking about it that the game has been lacking a real quality and we were waiting for that one moment and we get it from a right back.
Karnicnik finds himself high up the pitch after taking a gamble and that's what you need to do in games. He releases himself from that right-back spot and finds himself inside the back post and then he gets the goal.

Wow. Replays show that goal scorer Zan Karnicnik actually got a little touch to that to make sure it deflected onto the bar.
Doing bits at both ends of the pitch.

Oh my word! A brilliant cross into the box and it looks like Aleksandar Mitrovic has to score but his effort pings off the crossbar.
He can't believe it.

Slovenia fans are absolutely buzzing in the stands. Serbia have started this second half well but haven't put any of their chances away.
Can they respond?
GOAL - Slovenia 1-0 Serbiapublished at 15:26 British Summer Time 20 June
Zan Karnicnik (68 mins)
Deadlock broken!
The ball is switched beautifully out to Timi Max Elsnik on the left-hand side and he just puts it on a plate for Zan Karnicnik in front of goal. All he has to do is guide it into the back of the net.
Are Slovenia on their way to a first ever Euros win?

Petar Stojanovic goes down in the box and looks up to the referee pleadingly but the Slovenian has just leaned into the challenge. No penalty.

Slovenia 0-0 Serbia
Stephen Warnock
Former England and Aston Villa defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveSerbia have gotten their main player Tadic on the ball, who is starting to draw players into him and that creates space for other players and that's something that Slovenia have not been able to do. They haven't been able to really get Sesko or Elsnik into the game. The gaps between midfield and attack are too big for Slovenia.

Slovenia 0-0 Serbia
Aleksandar Mitrovic snatches at one from range but it's rising and misses the target.
So far this result benefits neither side. Particularly Serbia, who need a win to have a hope of qualifying in the top two of Group C.

Here come the changes.
Jan Mlakar is replaced by Jon Gorenc Stankovic for Slovenia and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Luka Jovic are on for Sasa Lukic and Dusan Vlahovic.
Lukic is not happy to be coming off and takes his frustration out on the Allianz Arena turf.
'Smart save'published at 15:20 British Summer Time 20 June

Stephen Warnock
Former England and Aston Villa defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveThe goalkeeper Rajkovic sees it from a long way out so he sets himself and manages to get across the goal with a big strong right arm above his head. It's a smart save but that's the best we've seen of Sesko, he has been very, very quiet in this game.

Serbia deal with the corner easily but it falls to Slovenia and they look to just keep the possession.
Brilliant noise from the crowd who I'm sure are getting a bit impatient now.

Benjamin Sesko is off and running and it looks like he's going to be one-on-one with the keeper.
He rides two fouls but the referee blows his whistle and pulls it back for a free-kick from the first one. End to end stuff.
Oblak 'one of the best in the world'published at 15:10 British Summer Time 20 June
Slovenia 0-0 Serbia
Stephen Warnock
Former England and Aston Villa defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveLovely from Mitrovic and Tadic they linked up so well. Mitrovic gets the ball from the right-hand side and plays the ball into Tadic, a little reverse and then back into the run of Mitrovic who makes that third run. But Oblak does exactly what he did in the first half, he sprints off his line and then controls himself to make sure he's big and it's a really good save and why he is one of the best in the world.

That's a teasing cross from Mijat Gacinovic but Sasa Lukic can't get his shot away and it's out for a corner.
It comes out to Dusan Tadic on the edge of the penalty area and he floats over a lovely ball for Aleksandar Mitrovic, who heads over the bar. Another corner.
Serbia are looking dangerous here.

By the way, Filip Mladenovic, who was on a yellow card, has been replaced by midfielder Mijat Gacinovic at half-time.
Highlights: Slovenia 1-1 Serbia
Luka Jovic scored a 95th-minute equaliser as Serbia grabbed a last-gasp draw against Slovenia at Euro 2024.
Full-back Zan Karnicnik slotted home a low cross from close range with 20 minutes remaining to put the Slovenians on the verge of a first Euros win, which would have pushed Serbia to the brink of elimination.
But former Real Madrid striker Jovic rescued his country with a near-post flicked header from a corner to spark Serbian joy in Munich.
A draw meanwhile benefits England - Gareth Southgate's side are guaranteed to progress as Group C winners if they beat Denmark later on Thursday.
Zan Karnicnik put Slovenia in front and seemingly on course for victory
- Published13 June
- Published14 June
Serbia manager Dragan Stojkovic criticised his side for showing England "too much respect" in their Euro 2024 opener, however they produced a similarly slow start in Munich.
Unlike against England, there was no notable improvement after the break before Karnicnik arrived late at the far post to finish Timi Elsnik's cross.
Slovenia seemed certain to claim just their second win at a major tournament - their first was against Algeria at the 2010 World Cup - and move to the brink of reaching the knockout stages of a major finals for the first time.
But Jovic's goal means both sides still have everything to play for going into their final group games on Tuesday, when Slovenia face England and Serbia take on Denmark at 20:00 BST.
Jovic spoils Slovenia dream
Aleksandar Mitrovic failed to score for the second successive match at Euro 2024
The Slovenians had two shots on target in the opening 12 minutes - the same number they managed in the entirity of their draw with Denmark - and the best of the first-half openings.
On 38 minutes Elsnik hit the near post with a powerful effort. The rebound fell to Benjamin Sesko, but the tall striker - previously linked with Arsenal and Manchester United - skewed his shot wide.
At the other end, Serbia talisman Aleksandar Mitrovic was twice denied excellently by Slovenia goalkeeper Jan Oblak one-on-one.
Slovenia continued to push after the break, Predrag Rajkovic going full stretch to tip over a Sesko drive - but he could do nothing to deny Karnicnik, who sent the white-shirted supporters into raptures.
The right-back was then the hero at the other end as he made a last-gasp block to deflect Mitrovic's close-range volley on to the bar.
The story seemed written that the smallest nation at Euro 2024, with a population of 2.1 million, would secure a historic win.
But just as the mood was turning nasty with warnings broadcast at the stadium in Munich for fans to stop throwing bottles, Jovic stepped up to keep Serbia's tournament alive and break Slovenian hearts.

Match Facts
Slovenia and Serbia (then playing as FR Yugoslavia) previously met at UEFA EURO 2000. They drew 3-3 in the group stages after Slovenia were 3-0 up. It’s the only time a team has failed to win a UEFA EURO match after having led by 3+ goals.
Six of the previous eight matches between Slovenia and Serbia in all competitions have ended in a draw, with each side winning once apiece in the others.
Slovenia and Serbia last met in the UEFA Nations League, in June 2022. Serbia won 4-1 in Belgrade before a 2-2 draw in Ljubljana a week later.
Slovenia have played more matches at the UEFA European Championship without ever winning than any other nation, drawing three and losing one of their four matches in the competition.
Including games as Yugoslavia, Serbia won two of their first three matches at the UEFA European Championship (L1), reaching the final in both 1960 and 1968. However, since then they’ve won one of their 12 matches in the competition (D2 L9).
In all competitions, Slovenia have lost just two of their last 22 matches (W13 D7), going down 2-0 against Finland and 2-1 against Denmark last year in EURO qualifying.
Serbia committed 19 fouls against England in their opening match of EURO 2024, their highest number of fouls conceded in a competitive international since October 2019 (19 vs Lithuania in a EURO 2020 qualifier).
Serbia striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has scored a goal in each of his two previous matches against Slovenia. Only against Lithuania (2018-2019), Luxembourg (2019-2021) and Portugal (2019-2021) has he ever scored in three consecutive international appearances.
Erik Janza scored Slovenia’s goal in their 1-1 draw with Denmark in the opening match. No player was involved in more of Slovenia’s attempts than Janza (5 – 3 shots, 2 chances created).
In their opening match defeat against England, Strahinja Pavlovic made more tackles (4), more clearances (5), won more duels (7) and made more successful dribbles (2) than any other Serbia player.
