The first yellow cards come out of the referee’s bag. There is one yellow card for each team. The first goes to Aleksandar Mitrovic for complaining to the referee about a foul, and Juljan Shehu receives one for Albania.
It continues to be a game without clear chances. Both teams are playing the game, both trying to maintain possession of the ball, but the defenses recover and everything resets. There have been two shots in the game, but one was blocked by the defense and the other went into the stands.
It has been a very uneventful match. Although there have been no shots on goal, Serbia is putting a lot of pressure on Albania’s area, but the red and black team’s defense is holding up very well. Nine minutes have passed and both defenses are still holding strong.
The match between Serbia and Albania kicks off. It will be a direct duel between two teams fighting for second place and to qualify as the second best in all the groups. Let’s hope it’s an exciting match.
