Following Serbia's 2-1 defeat to the Netherlands in the fourth round of Group A2 in the Nations League, Serbia's manager Veljko Paunovic shared his thoughts on the match. He also raised some concerns about the officiating.

Here is what Paunovic said after the final whistle:

“Probably so, I don't know what you think? I'm glad we agree – the boys did an incredible job. I wouldn't want to single out individual players, but Mihajlo Cvetkovic and Stefan Gudelj played a fantastic match. They brought freshness and energy, and together with the more experienced players, they made the team look excellent.

“Cvetkovic could have also scored, and we created several other clear chances. When we look at what we had and how they beat us, the number of chances we missed was not even close, and perhaps it shouldn't have been that way.”
