Serbia Golden

Serbia used a strong second-half performance to beat Spain 56-55 for a second time in the last four days to dethrone the defending champions in the final at a packed Melina Merkoyri Stadium in Rethimnon tonight.

The result means this is Serbia’s first European title at the U16 level as the independent state of Serbia.
