Without Rodri, but with Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams in their attacking line, Luis de la Fuente’s boys dominated the match, but couldn’t find the back of the net despite more than 20 shots.Really not sure how Jovic missed this opportunity to give Serbia the lead against Spain 😳#SRBESP pic.twitter.com/0TOa5iSfL3 https://t.co/4hSpTPdc35— Sacha Pisani (@Sachk0) September 5, 2024 On the other hand, Serbia surprised everyone with their brave performance, even though they lacked a handful of their most prominent players. It was Luka Jovic who missed the game’s most promising chance, as Zivkovic provided him with a perfect through ball, but the former Real Madrid striker missed a sitter in front of David Raya.
