Serbia’s Euro 2024 campaign came to a disappointing end with an uninspired draw, allowing Denmark to advance from their group.
The match in Munich was a drab affair, with neither side displaying their full potential. Denmark, though slightly superior, failed to impress overall.
In the first half, Jonas Wind thought he had scored for Denmark, but his effort was disallowed as the ball had crossed the touchline before he bundled it in from a corner.
Wind, playing for Wolfsburg, missed another chance when he slipped while trying to connect with a flick-on from Rasmus Hojlund, sending the ball over the bar. He was substituted at halftime.
Despite not being at their best, Denmark still created opportunities.
Alexander Bah missed a header, and Christian Eriksen forced a save from the Serbian goalkeeper, Predrag Rajkovic.
Serbia, needing a win to stay in the tournament due to Slovenia’s draw with England in the other Group C match, managed just one shot on target, which came in stoppage time of the second half.
Serbia had a brief moment of hope when Luka Jovic found the net, but the goal was disallowed as he was offside in the buildup.
With a draw sufficient to secure their place in the last 16, Denmark showed a lack of urgency.
Jannik Vestergaard’s header at Rajkovic was one of their few significant attempts in the second half.
Ultimately, Denmark progressed, while Serbia’s Euro 2024 journey ended in disappointment.
