END! The first half of the match between Serbia and Austria at the Rajko Mitic ends after Muhammed Cham’s free kick went over the goal. The score remains goalless, the aggregate is also level and for now we go to extra time.
We reached the minute 45 of the match and the referee only added one minute. Serbia tried to get closer in the last moments of the first half, but they didn’t do it with much intensity. All the balls they sent into the box ended up in the hands of Alexander Schlager.
Five minutes left for the end of the first half. It has been a fairly close game, more focused on the strategies that the coaches have set up, trying not to make mistakes. No player risked a change of pace.
We are entering the final stretch of the first half. It has been a rather slow game so far, lacking ideas from the players to generate danger in the areas. There is not much to highlight apart from the chances of Vlahovic and Schmid.
We reached the half hour mark of the match, which lacked a lot of rhythm. The scoreboard continues without moving and the goal options continue to be scarce for the moment. The overall score remains tied (1-1).
We are approaching the half-hour mark in the match. Austria has started to handle more of the ball on the pitch, but they are not subduing their opponents yet. Serbia has failed to take advantage of home advantage so far.
WHAT A GREAT SAVE BY PREDRAG RAJKOVIC! The goalkeeper saves for Serbia after a mistake by the defense at the start; immediately the attack was activated and Romano Schmid shot in front of the goal after receiving a pass from the right, but Rajkovic’s performance was better, saving underneath AUSTRIA HAD IT!
Twenty minutes into the match and the score remains 0-0. We still have no shots on goal. The only close chance has been generated by Serbia, but they have not achieved much. Austria are holding their nerve.
SERBIA HAD IT! Dusan Vlahovic had the first chance for the home team, but the Juventus striker received the ball near the area and did not hesitate to shoot with his left foot, but the ball went near the left post.
We reached the first quarter of an hour in the match. The scoreboard remains unchanged so far. The teams are looking to give much more speed to their starts and begin to send longer balls, without abusing possession.
The match is still goalless. The teams are trying to increase the intensity, with the Austrian team playing better for the moment and managing to generate some partnerships in the middle of the pitch and above all, playing simple, one-touch football.
First minutes of the match. So far, none of the teams has exerted much pressure on the opponent’s start, nor is there any team dominating with the ball. So far, it’s a quiet start to the match.
THE MATCH IS UNDERWAY! The referee blows his whistle and the match between Serbia and Austria kicks off at the Rajko Mitic Stadium. There is too much anxiety to know who will win this match.
