In a dramatic turn of events, Slovenia's hopes of clinching a first-ever win in the European Championship were dashed on Thursday.
A 69th-minute goal from Žan Karnicnik had placed Slovenia on the verge of history until Serbian substitute Luka Jovic netted a stoppage-time equalizer.
The spectacular goal incited a wild celebration from Serbian fans, who hurled flares and other objects onto the field in jubilation.
As the referee signaled full-time immediately after the restart, Slovenia's players were visibly crushed, collapsing in disappointment on the pitch.
