Serbia through to U-20 World Cup final, to face Brazil

Both teams adopted a much more cautious approach in the second half, and the closest that Serbia came to taking the lead again was in the 71st minute as Milan Gajic hit the crossbar with a long-range effort.

The game continued with the third consecutive extra time in the tournament for head coach Veljko Paunovic's men, once again resulting in a victory for Serbia, like in the matches against Hungary and the United States.

Young FK Partizan striker Ivan Saponjic became the hero of the historic victory by scoring from a header after a corner in the 101st minute.

In Saturday's final, Serbia will take on Brazil, which demolished Senegal 5-0.
