Lowly Start For High Flying Eagles

Serbia's Euro 2024 Journey Begins with a Defeat

Lowly start for high-flying Eagles

Serbia's Euro 2024 campaign got off to a disappointing start on Sunday, as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against England. The match, played at the National Arena in Bucharest, was the first of three group games for Serbia, who are ranked 21st in the FIFA World Rankings. Gareth Southgate's England side took the lead early in the second half through a Harry Kane penalty, and despite Serbia's best efforts, they were unable to find an equaliser. The result leaves Serbia bottom of Group D, with their hopes of reaching the knockout stages now hanging in the balance. Serbia will be looking to bounce back when they take on Scotland in their next match on Friday. However, they will need to improve their performance significantly if they want to avoid an early exit from the tournament.
