Serbia kept its hopes of advancing to the next round alive, sitting third on five points, two shy of Denmark, which lost 2-1 at home to leader Spain.

The visitors had squandered a golden chance to take the lead early in the second half as leading scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic’s penalty kick was saved by Swiss goalkeeper Gregor Kobel. Serbia keeper Djordje Petrovic was also crucial in denying Switzerland the lead with key saves from attempts by Amdouni and Edimilson Fernandes.
