The test was successful, the plan was realized – the Serbian footballers recorded a minimal win in Riga (1-0) and in the best way scheduled a match with England.
Routinely, most importantly without injuries and even cautions, the “eagles” signed a triumph in Latvia.
In the game, to be honest, of a rival of completely different qualities.
This was seen already in the first half of the match in Riga. As the match was nearing its end, the gap was getting bigger and there was almost no fear among the Serbian fans in a shocking finish. Despite the sometimes incomprehensible nonchalance of the boys in white jerseys.
Until the finish and the post of the Latvians. Veps fired from about ten meters, Petrović stretched as long as he was, but luck caressed the team of Dragan Stojković.
The Serbian team opened the match excellently. Vlahović’s double pass with Katai, also gave birth to the first goal. The Serbian striker reacted wisely – with a precise shot from 17 meters he legitimized himself as one of the key players on “Daugava”.
That’s how it was, Vlahović broke into the penalty area several times with ease. However, he did not change the balance of power on the field. The Latvians had a lot of problems on the right side of the defense. Filip Kostić was excellent, often making an advantage, unfortunately, not in the final sum in the rival’s net.
Dragan Stojković’s team routinely handled it after the leading goal. Good chances were missed by Ilić and Jović, shortly after the break. The weak Latvians, as the match was nearing its end, had more and more difficulty dealing with it and getting in front of Petrović’s goal. There were no specific shots in sight either…
