Serbia probably had a better shout at the other end actually, their man got clattered off the ball.

We might regret these chances. They look very vulnerable in the channels, but they also look likely to score again. Think it would have been a harsh enough pen at either end.

I think the ref may have viewed it as Coleman losing his footing because the ball took a nick and clearly changed direction. Not sure if that's a correct call, but it's why he fell anyway and I think it would have been harsh.

Keeping a decent shape I suppose, which isn't a bad thing at all, but Serbia always seem like they are a moment away from being one-on-one with Travers. Don't want to sound to harsh, I'd say the last ten minutes have been or best since the play-off. Hendrick the first one on, hopefully he slots in well for the half hour.

Harsh on Molumby that substitution

I don’t mind that sub. Too often we wait until the midfield is legless. Happy to see the energy introduced early. Hendrick can prove a point that he should have been on from the start maybe too.

Think hamstring gone for Connolly

Whenever we get the ball at feet in the attacking third, we always seem to make the wrong call with the pass or the lack of a shot. Very frustrating. It's not the chances we're missing, it's the chances we're not creating.

Well balls, some finish in fairness. I think we’ll get another chance or two.

Super finish, though can't help but wonder if that's the League One keeper effect. Not a howler, but maybe a better keeper mightn't have been caught out.

Unfortunately that's something that can happen when you're forced to play a keeper with this lack of experience. Very disappointing all the same.

I'm probably biased, but there's no way Bazuna would have been caught like that. That's a schoolboy football error from Travers.

He'll learn from that. He was tempted to come clear it but he was never getting there, and the few steps forward allowed Mitrovic to do that. Super finish all the same.

Disappointing to concede a goal like that. We'll create another chance or two here though. Portugal will get a 100% record in this group.

Time to get Jimbo McClean on there

Can't be having two centre-halves beaten in the air like that. Disappointing.
