A commanding performance
Brajan Gruda was a standout performer, netting a brilliant long-range strike to extend the lead. While Srdjan Babic managed to pull one back for the hosts from a set-piece, Germany’s defensive unit, anchored by Marc ter Stegen, held firm against late pressure.
The match was marked by high intensity and disciplinary challenges, with Serbia finishing the game with ten men after Vanja Dragojevic received a red card following a VAR review. Andrija Zivkovic was also dismissed late in the proceedings, further hampering the home side’s efforts to mount a comeback.
With this result, Germany remains in a strong position to challenge for the next round of the competition. The squad will look to carry this momentum into their upcoming fixtures as they aim to secure a top spot in the group.
