Spain got off the a great start thanks to JOSELU who scored early in
the 6th min. The Spaniards dominated most of the first half with
Serbia dedicating itself to defend & play the counter-attack.Then in
the 36th min a Spanish goalkeeping mistake allowed MILANOVIC to
equalize,while the heavens were opening with rain & lighting
happening all around the stadium.

Spain continued the second half with more possession, but in the
51st min MILANOVIC scored the winner from a corner with a header
that beat the Spanish goalkeeper who wasn’t having his best day.
The Serbs from the on held out with its leading result until the end
of the game with smart defensive work.

Spain now holds the second position behind Serbia in the Group
table & needs to win France in its next game if they are to go on
through to the semi-final stage.
