Luka Jovic kept Serbia alive and broke Slovenian hearts when he salvaged a 1-1 at Euro 2024 with the last play of the match on Thursday.

Substitute Jovic headed into the far right corner off a corner kick as the five minutes of added on time had already expired. Zan Karnicnik had put Slovenia ahead on the counter in the 69th minute.

Slovenia had earlier hit the post from Timi Max Elsnik while Aleksandar Mitrovic missed several chances for Serbia.

Slovenia were close to their first ever victory at the Euros in their second appearance but shared the points like in their opening 1-1 with Denmark.

They now have two points in Group C where England can clinch a last-16 berth with victory over Denmark later Thursday. England won their opener 1-0 over Serbia who are still alive thanks to Jovic.

The final matches next week are England v Slovenia and Denmark v Serbia.
