Djokovic in attendance to support Serbia

Tennis legend Novak Djokovic is in attendance for the Euro 2024 Group C clash between Denmark and Serbia in Munich.

With a win, Serbia will automatically qualify as one of the top two teams from the group.

Jonas Wind’s goal disallowed

Jonas Wind appeared to score from a set piece for Denmark but the goal was disallowed by the referee as the corner kick taken by Christian Eriksen went out of play before coming in.

Andersen’s own goal disallowed

Danish defender Joachim Andersen appeared to have scored a own goal, however, the goal was disallowed by the referee as the lineman raised his flag for Luka Jovic, who was central in this move. The AC Milan forward, who came on as a second-half substitute made an intelligent run to latch onto Dusan Tadic’s through ball but he was slightly off-side when the ball was played. Jovic’s cut back was turned home by Andersen in an attempt to clear the ball inside the six yard box.

Mitrovic gets yellow card for diving

Serbian Aleksandar Mitrovic gets into the book for diving inside the penalty area as the referee deemed it as a simulation to get penalty. He was in tussle with his former Fullham teammate Joachim Andersen. The Serb felt contact and fell down dramatically and started appealing for a penalty. However, the referee was was unmoved and waved off the appeal before showing the striker a yellow card.
