Slovenia started the brighter of the two sides, with Serbia goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic making a smart stop to deny Jan Mlakar's low drive. Timi Elsnik then rattled the post after a mazy run, and then Benjamin Sesko failed to bury the follow-up. Aleksandar Mitrovic nearly gave Serbia the perfect start after the break, following a neat one-two with Dusan Tadic but Jan Oblak did well to keep out his strike.
Slovenia finally broke the deadlock in the 68th minute as Zan Karnicnik finished off the move he started in his own half by converting Elsnik's ball across the six-yard box. Serbia nearly equalised instantly through Mitrovic but Karnicnik got the slightest of touches as the Al-Hilal star's first-time strike hit the bar. Dragan Stojkovic's side pushed hard for an equaliser and with virtually the last kick of the game, Jovic grabbed a remarkable 95th-minute equaliser at Allianz Arena.

Luka Jovic: The former Real Madrid man was only brought on in the 92nd minute of the game but came up with a priceless goal to rescue his side. Karnicnik was superb for Slovenia, scoring his side's goal and being strong at the back but Jovic stole the show with a stunning cameo.
THE BIG LOSER
Dusan Vlahovic: While star strikers Mitrovic and Sesko were fairly quiet for their respective sides, the Juventus man was, arguably, the biggest disappointment of all. He was very ineffective, looked anonymous, and was hooked just after the hour mark.
WHAT COMES NEXT?
Slovenia round off their group-stage campaign with a clash against England on Tuesday night, whereas Serbia take on Denmark at the same time. The former have two points from two matches, whereas Serbia have one heading into the last round of fixtures.
