Managerless Serbia reignited their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification hopes with a commanding 3-1 victory over Andorra, thanks to second-half brilliance from Dušan Vlahović and Aleksandar Mitrović.
The hosts, Andorra, shocked fans with an early wonder goal — Guillaume López finding the net from just inside the center circle. But Serbia’s class showed through moments later when Christian García’s own goal restored parity. The first half ended level, with Serbia frustrated but not broken.
🔥 Second-Half Turnaround: Vlahović and Mitrović Deliver
Serbia came alive in the second period. Filip Kostić’s inch-perfect cross met Vlahović’s powerful header to hand Serbia the lead. Despite Iker Álvarez’s heroic saves, he couldn’t deny Mitrović from the penalty spot after García’s foul inside the area.
The 3-1 triumph marked Serbia’s fifth straight unbeaten game (W2, D3), bringing them within a single point of Albania, who hold the crucial playoff position in Group K.
📊 What This Means for Serbia’s 2026 WCQ Campaign
This result keeps Serbia’s World Cup qualification hopes alive with two games remaining. The team has rediscovered form just when it matters most — showing mental strength and attacking sharpness that could see them through to North America 2026.
For Andorra, the defeat extends a painful run of six losses in seven qualifiers, leaving them bottom of the standings.
