On his 100th cap, Aleksandar Mitrović delivered a masterclass performance, securing a hat-trick and guiding Serbia to a dominant 3-0 win over Andorra in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
🏆 Serbia’s No.9 Makes History in Group K Clash
Mitrović, Serbia’s all-time top scorer, marked his milestone appearance in style. The Crvena zvezda striker’s hat-trick lifted Serbia above expectations and revived their hopes of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
After frustrating England for 50 minutes in a previous fixture, Andorra were expected to show defensive grit again. But the Balkan giants had other ideas, opening the floodgates early.
⚽ The Goals: Clinical, Composed, and Classic Mitrović
- 1st Goal (11’): After Dušan Vlahović tumbled in the box, the loose ball fell kindly to Mitrović, who slotted home with ease.
- 2nd Goal (35’): From a well-delivered Živković corner, Mitrović lost his marker and powered a header past the helpless Iker Álvarez.
- 3rd Goal (50’ – Penalty): A handball by Biel Borra gave Mitrović a chance to seal his hat-trick. He made no mistake, rolling in his 62nd goal for his country.
Serbia Climbing High – What It Means for the Group
This victory propels Dragan Stojković’s Serbia to third place in Group K. They trail Albania by one point and England by five, but crucially, Serbia has two games in hand. With strong momentum and inspired leadership from their talisman, qualification is within reach.
😞 Andorra’s Woes Continue
Despite an improved second-half showing, Andorra remain winless and goalless in this campaign. Their next opportunity to break the drought will be against Latvia in October — a match now critical for morale and pride.
