This time round, the Serbs were denied a late goal in Munich. In the final Group C match, Denmark and Serbia fought out a goalless draw. The point would prove to be too little for the Serbs, who had kept their chances of progressing alive with a last-minute goal against Slovenia in the previous match. This game was marked by tension and, given the tight group situation, a goal conceded by either team could have meant certain elimination. Serbia's final push came too late and the eastern Europeans finished the group stage in last place. Denmark, on the other hand, found themselves in an odd situation: level on points and goal difference with group opponents Slovenia, the fair play rule ultimately tipped the scales in favour of the Scandinavian side, who finished the group in second place and went through to the Round of 16.
