A last-gasp header by Serbia striker Luka Jovic rescued a 1-1 draw against Slovenia in EURO 2024 Group C on Thursday.

Neither national team managed to score in the first half, but Slovenia broke the deadlock with a close-range finish from Zan Karnicnik in the second half.

Timi Elsnik produced a stunning passage of play to assist Karnicnik's goal in the 69th minute at Munich Football Arena.

Luka Jovic equalized with a stoppage-time header, and the Matchday 2 game ended in a tie.

Second-place Slovenia collected two points, while Serbia earned their first point, putting them last in the standings.
