Newcastle United striker Aleksandar Mitrovic scored against Wales on Saturday evening.
Serbia broke Welsh hearts on Saturday evening as they grabbed a late equaliser to earn a 1-1 draw at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Both sides are looking to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and Wales went ahead as Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale grabbed his 26th goal for his country.

There was late heartbreak for Chris Coleman’s side though, as just moments after Bale hit the post when given the chance to potentially seal the game, Serbia went down the other end and nicked an equaliser through Aleksandar Mitrovic.
The Newcastle United striker rose highest to place a header in off the post from Antonio Rukavina’s cross, continuing his stunning form for club and country.

Mitrovic, 22, has now hit seven goals in his last six games for club and country, and he really seems to be developing under the stewardship of Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez.
After Mitrovic found the net yet again, Newcastle fans took to Twitter to praise their cult hero, with the familiar chant of ‘Mitro’s on fire’.

Fans were delighted to see Mitrovic continue his goalscoring form, noting that he’s turning into a real player this season after an up-and-down first season at St. James’ Park last term.
Others looked ahead to next weekend’s game at Leeds, suggesting that Leeds defender Pontus Jansson will be terrified of facing Mitrovic, whilst some couldn’t bring themselves to consider a future without Mitrovic at St. James’ Park.
