GENEVA (AP) — Sergej Milinkoviu0107-Saviu0107 scored twice to lift Serbia into the European Championship playoff finals with a 2-1 extra-time win over Norway on Thursday.
Serbia kept Norway’s feared forward Erling Haaland quiet and found its own unlikely threat in the Lazio midfielder who had not previously scored for the national team.
Milinkoviu0107-Saviu0107 was on hand to score from close range after a free kick into the penalty area in the 82nd minute, before Norway leveled through Mathias Normann’s angled low shot in the 88th.
An exquisite piece of skill won the game in the 102nd, as Milinkoviu0107-Saviu0107 tricked Norway goalkeeper Rune Jarstein with a deft, slow chip from the edge of the six-yard box.
