Kerr’s Faroes lose out to Serbia

SERBIA tightened their grip on World Cup qualifying Group Seven with a routine 2-0 win over Brian Kerr’s Faroe Islands last night.

Milan Jovanovic and Neven Subotic scored in each half to give Serbia an eight-point advantage over second-placed France, who have two games in hand.

Jovanovic broke the deadlock two minutes before the break when, after his initial shot from the centre of the area was saved, the ball broke back to the Standard Liege striker and he slotted home the follow-up.
