Events
Match Events
- 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against Serbia and England has kicked off!
- 5' Luka Jovic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 10' Serbia is showing some good football. However, Serbia are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 13' Jude Bellingham does the damage! The net is bulging and England surge ahead!
- 18' Over 18 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 23' England international Bukayo Saka has been a key figure this campaign — 8 goals and 5 assists in the Array this season.
- 28' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 28 minutes.
- 33' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Serbia side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 38' A quiet spell here at Veltins-Arena. England seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 39' Controversy at the stadium! Nemanja Gudelj argues furiously but the card stands.
- 43' The crowd applauds Filip Kostic as he leaves the pitch. Filip Mladenovic steps in for Serbia.
- 46' The Serbia manager makes a substitution. Nemanja Gudelj departs to be replaced by Ivan Ilic.
- 51' England have won 75 goals from 137 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 56' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Serbia and England are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 61' It is a substitution in Serbia team. Aleksandar Mitrovic is replaced by Dusan Tadic on 61 minute.
- 66' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 69' Conor Gallagher is ready to make an impact after coming on for Trent Alexander-Arnold at the 69 minute mark.
- 74' Serbia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Veljko Birmancevic is hanging Andrija Zivkovic on the field on 74 minute.
- 75' Dusan Tadic has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 75.
- 76' A tactical swap from England — Jarrod Bowen on, Bukayo Saka off on 76 minutes.
- 81' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Dusan Vlahovic suffering a number of foals already.
- 83' That looks like a foul for a card for Dragan Stojkovic.
- 86' Another change for England made on 86 minute. Jude Bellingham leaves to be changed by Kobbie Mainoo.
- With this win, England is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
