Aleksić double
Danijel Aleksić gave Serbia a fifth-minute lead but Tomas Bagi levelled matters 12 minutes later. However, Serbia picked up their game after the break and within seven minutes Adem Ljajić and Aleksić had put them 3-1 up and on their way to three points. On Friday, Serbia continue their campaign against Sweden, who were defeated 6-0 today by the Czech Republic. That side now face their neighbours Slovakia.
