Everything was decided by Carrasco’s goal in the 61st second, which the Serbs brought to themselves
Belgium in a friendly match at home they defeated Serbia with a minimum score of 1:0.
The fate of the meeting was decided by an early goal, which was the result of a gross mistake by the Slavic team in defense. Strahinja Pavlovic made an unsuccessful pass to Predrag Rajkovic, the goalkeeper scooped the ball up from the feet of Lois Openda, but rolled it straight to Yannick Carrasco, who happily hit the empty net.
During the entire game, the teams struck a total of 20 shots. But, for example, the Serbs never hit the target.
The Belgian national team has previously qualified for the European Championship from Group F. On November 19, Domenico Tedesco’s team will have a non-decisive match against Azerbaijan.
For the Serbs to book a trip, it is enough for Montenegro not to beat Lithuania on November 16. Otherwise, Dragan Stojkovic’s team will need to score points at home against Bulgaria three days later.
The fate of the Ukrainian national team indirectly depends on the direct passage of the Serbian team to the European Championship, or more precisely, its chances of playing through the playoffs of the League of Nations – in the event that Sergei Rebrov’s team does not manage to get ahead of Italy in its qualifying group.
