Yugoslavia 1 China 0

First Published: Mar 29, 2000

Yugoslavia took an early lead in this Belgrade friendly and by the end had used 19 players as the game stuttered to a close.

Fiorentina striker Predrag Mijatovic gave Vujadin Boskov's team the lead when he headed in a free kick by Sinisa Mihajlovic after 8 minutes.

China were playing their first match in Yugoslavia and passed the ball well without creating clear chances. The game started to drift when a succession of second half substitutions by the home team drained momentum from the play.
