    Time:90'
    • Belarus U21
    • Serbia U21
    • 90+1' The full-time whistle goes in Malmo, and Belarus and Serbia have shared a goalless draw, which is not much use to either side; Serbia needed a win to challenge Italy at the top of the group. Thanks for joining us.
    • 90' Just one minute will be added at the end of this second half, and both sides are striving for a final chance to clinch this match.
    • 89' Serbia are pushing hard for a winner, and have Belarus boxed into their half, but to no avail as yet.
    • 88' A lumped long ball from Kovel almost manages to release Sivakov, but the forward drifts offside to his dismay.
    • 87' Chesnovski receives treatment for a cut on his chin after colliding with Sulejmani, but he will be okay.
    • 86' Kacar attempts an audacious shot from the edge of the penalty area, but it drifts narrowly over the bar.
    • 85' Tosic jostles with Krivets in midfield as the pair fight to regain possession for their sides.
    • 84' Will there be a final moment of quality in this pretty drab match?
    • 83' Tosic will take a corner for Serbia after good work from Tomovic wins the set piece for his side, but it is a poor delivery.
    • 82' Chesnovski is quickly off his line to intercept a long ball from Kacar, as the defender looked in vain for Sulejmani.
    • 81' Fejsa is brought off for Serbia as Veljovic replaces him in the final ten minutes.
    • 79' Pejcinovic misses a clear-cut opportunity to open the scoring, skying his shot with Chesnovski charging out of his goal - could Serbia be left to rue that miss?
    • 78' Bordachov is booked for mistiming a tackle on Tosic, and that was a poor challenge.
    • 77' Serbia continue to stroke the ball around, but little is coming from their possession.
    • 76' Bordachov clips a deep cross to the back post, but it goes over the head of Sivakov.
    • 75' Kacar commits a poor challenge on Kovel, but is not booked for his attempted tackle.
    • 74' Tosic wins a free kick on halfway as Chuckhlei is booked for a cynical trip on the winger as he charged away.
    • 73' Belarus are preparing another change, with Putilo warming up vigorously on the touchline.
    • 72' Tomovic is proving a good outlet for Serbia, and another run down the right almost culminates in another decent cross.
    • 71' Kovel is booked for a mis-timed challenge on Fejsa, and Belarus are becoming slightly frayed in their tempers.
    • 69' Chukhlei replaces Afanasiev for Belarus, who make a change in midfield to freshen things up.
    • 67' Shitov is booked for a rash challenge on Kacar, as Belarus get increasingly frustrated with their lack of possession.
    • 65' Kislyak streaks down the right for Belarus, and Serbia are defending stubbornly.
    • 64' This match has lacked real class, and maybe Tosic can provide that, but as yet he has been well contained by Belarus.
    • 63' Afanasiev is caught offside after stealing through and looking to be in a position to trouble Serbia's defence.
    • 62' Tosic is dropping deeper and deeper as Kovel comes inside to help his midfield combat the Serbian line up.
    • 61' Petkovic has been replaced by Tomic, in Serbia's second change, after Obradovic came on for Milinkovic.
    • 59' Osipovich almost scores an own goal after a devilish free kick is whipped in from the right by Tosic, but it drifts narrowly over the bar.
    • 57' Tosic skips past Bordachov with a neat nutmeg, but is hauled down for a free kick moments later.
    • 56' Sebria win a corner after Afanasiev concedes it, tracking back to disposess Sulejmani.
    • 55' A good delivery from Tosic almost finds Milinkovic in the box, but it goes awry after a poor touch.
    • 53' Serbia striker Sulejmani is fouled in a good position for Serbia, and Obradovic is booked for complaining.
    • 52' Belarus launch an attack through Kovel, who finds Krivets and a return pass enables the striker to smash a shot over the bar.
    • 50' Belarus are beginning to hold possession themselves, and Shitov makes a fine tackle to regain the ball for them.
    • 49' Serbia have been relentlessly on the attack in this match, with Belarus unable to keep hold of the ball.
    • 48' Tosic is straight into the action for Serbia, charging down the right at will for his side.
    • 46' Sulejmani drives a shot wide for Serbia as the second half gets underway.
    • 45+1' The half-time whistle goes, and Serbia and Belarus are locked at 0-0, with Serbia dominating possession, but creating no clear-cut chances.
    • 45' Just one minute will be added at the end of this pretty uneventful first half.
    • 44' The game remains very evenly poised, with neither side able to create anything of note.
    • 43' Kovel is providing a good foil for Sivakov, and Belarus are relying on the pair to create something.
    • 42' Vukovic is running the left channel with impressive intensity, and Milinkovic is assisting him well.
    • 41' Petkovic and Kacar are doing well, passing the ball out from defence to supply the midfield instead of lumping it long.
    • 40' Serbia are the only side attacking at the moment, with Belarus sitting deep inside their own half.
    • 39' Tosic has another opportunity to whip a ball in from the right, and it is a fine delivery, but Belarus scramble it away.
    • 38' Finally, after a delay, the free kick is taken, and it is over hit, with Brkic shepherding the ball out of play.
    • 37' Kovel and Kislyak stand over a free kick for Belarus, and they will have to make the most of opportunities such as this.
    • 36 The free kick from Tosic comes to nothing, as Kacar fluffs his header tamely, but Serbia are playing well now.
    • 35' Tosic has a very dangerous free kick for Serbia on the edge of the area, and this could be trouble for Belarus.
    • 33' Tomovic is furious as he is flagged offside from a good through ball by Milinkovic - very marginal.
    • 32' Kislyak whips a good free kick over the wall for Belarus, but it drifts over the bar innocuously.
    • 31' Brkic does very well to collect a cross from Sivakov under intense pressure from two Belarus players - good goalkeeping.
    • 30' Tosic goes down on the edge of the Belarus area, but the referee is not remotely impressed, waving the winger's appeals away.
    • 29' Sivakov brings down Kacar as this match further deteriorates into a scrappy affair.
    • 27' Sulejmani is brought to ground by Bordachov, who barges the forward off the ball cynically as he was racing through.
    • 26' Serbia have enjoyed 54 per cent of possession in this first half, with Belarus chasing their opponents around.
    • 24' Shitov hammers the ball up field for Belarus, with his side not holding on to possession for long.
    • 23' Serbia are keeping the ball very well inside their half, and Vukovic is at the forefront of everything.
    • 22' Sulejmani is rightly booked for a very robust shoulder-barge on Kovel in the Belarus half.
    • 21' Krivets has a long shot blocked as he attempts to test Brkic in the Serbia goal. The midfielder has started this game well.
    • 20' Tosic gathers the ball in his lurid red boots, and lashes a shot over the bar from 30 yards.
    • 19' Ljubomir Fejsa is awarded the first yellow card of the match for a lunge on Sivakov.
    • 17 Kislyak attempts a long-range shot which does not overly trouble Brkic in the Serbia goal, but worth a pop anyway.
    • 16' Petkovic brushes Afanasiev off the ball, and the Belarus captain goes flying to the ground, but no free kick is awarded.
    • 15' Sulejmani delivers a testing corner which evades everyone, but that kind of cross will be useful for Serbia.
    • 13' Petkovic challenges Krivets in the air, and both fall heavily, and this is a very physical match for the two sides.
    • 12' Mikhail Sivakov attempts an ambitious curling shot from the edge of the area, which brings a smart stop from Brkic.
    • 11' Krivets and Kovel are linking up well for Belarus, and providing Tomovic with a lot of tracking back to do.
    • 9' Serbia are coming in to the game with force now, testing the Belarus defence with some piercing runs.
    • 8' Kacar is upended by Shitov, and Serbia have a dangerous free kick.
    • 7' Belarus are keeping the ball well in their opponent's half, with Serbia unable to hold possession for long.
    • 6 Belarus' Kovel hacks down Fejsa, who makes a meal of the tackle as he falls to the ground, and is awarded a free kick.
    • 4' Afanasiev wins a corner with another run down the right for Belarus.
    • 3' Afanasiev is tripped cynically by Kacar, with Belarus winning a dangerous free kick.
    • 2' Serbia start the brighter, with Tosic the man to watch with his tricky array of skills.
    • 1' We're underway at the Malmo New Stadium, and the ground is pretty sparsely populated.
