Just three minutes later Austria scored their second when Baumgartner's shot and hit the bottom right hand corner of the goal. The Eagles had their first big chance in the sixteenth minute, when Vlahović missed the ball that came to Tadić, the captain then shot towards the bottom left corner, but the ball flew just past the post. Until the 35th minute it was played practically in the half of Austria, and the reward came after Pavlović was in the right place and finished what his teammates started when Spajić's ball bounced off the post, and two minutes later, Serbia could have evened the score, Sergei was first knocked down in the penalty box, the Portuguese referee shook his hand, the ball came to Živković, who immediately sent in a shot, but it hit Dans on the way to the net.

Their arrival attracted the attention of many recreationists, children, as well as families with children, who took advantage of the nice weather to stay in the park, but also the opportunity that is not very often given to see the training of the players they admire in front of small screens or in stadiums throughout Europe. Of course, many immortalised that moment, thanks to the patience and kindness of the Serbian national team.

With Sweden's record goal-scorer Zlatan Ibrahimović among the 46,956 watching from the stands ahead of a post-match ceremony in his honour, Milinković-Savić broke the deadlock with an 18th-minute header as the Swedish defence was caught napping. The Swedes brought on Alexander Isak at half-time and created a number of good chances but Mitrović added the second goal with his final touch of the game on the hour mark, before being replaced by Tadić, and the substitute scored himself eight minutes later to complete the rout.

That means staying healthy, doing their best and playing the best they can at any given time. In that case, we will be satisfied regardless of the result. I call on the entire football and sports public in Serbia to cheer for our football players in a different way than they do for Red Star, Partizan, Vojvodina or any other club. To watch only what is beautiful, all the good that the players, the coach and the people from the Football Association of Serbia do. If we all radiate positive energy, it will reflect on the team. I have no dilemma at all that the players will provide 110 percent of their real capabilities" said Minister Gajić.
