In a match that had remained goalless longer than any other at Euro 2024, Zan Karnicnik broke the deadlock in the 68th minute for Slovenia. Starting with a steal from Gacinovic, Karnicnik surged forward and played a crucial role in the buildup, exchanging passes with Elsnik before slotting home at the back post. Serbia responded urgently, with Mitrovic hitting the crossbar moments later from a Zivkovic cross, heightening their frustration. As the game seemed destined for a Slovenian victory, Jovic salvaged a late equalizer deep into stoppage time, heading in Ivan Ilic’s corner to secure a dramatic draw and ignite celebrations among Serbian fans.
