In an eventful manner - due to an own goal in the last minutes - Serbia fails to win and ends up being tied by Ireland.
After this result, in Group A, the Irish earn their second point and move into fourth place, while Serbia loses the lead in second place with 11 points.
Both teams will continue their UEFA qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup in October.
Gavin Bazunu! The home goalkeeper dives and with both hands denies Aleksandar Mitrović's powerful shot. Serbia came close to scoring their second goal.
After more than half an hour of play, it has been a pretty even match; beyond the fact that Serbia is already beating Ireland, neither has had a clear dominance.

On the other hand, the team coached by Dragan Stojković has done a good job in these qualifiers, as it is currently the undefeated leader of the sector with 10 points, having won three matches and drawn one; it has eleven goals scored and six conceded.
The team coached by Stephen Kenny has had a rather complicated participation in this round, and proof of this is that they are in fourth place in their group, after accumulating only one point, after one draw and three defeats; they have scored four goals, but conceded seven.
This Tuesday afternoon in Dublin, the Green Boys and the White Eagles will play their fifth qualifying match; so far, they have had quite opposite results. It should be remembered that both teams are placed in the first sector of this phase, along with the teams of Portugal, Luxembourg and Azerbaijan.
This round, which is the first of the European qualifiers, gives 13 ten direct tickets to next year's World Cup; 10 of those will be obtained by the leaders of the sectors at the end of the ten rounds; meanwhile, the runners-up will advance to the playoffs, a stage in which the remaining 3 tickets to the World Cup will be in dispute.
