Just One Step Away from Gold for Our Basketballers, Against a Familiar Foe: Where to Watch Serbia vs. Latvia in the World Cup Semi-finals

After a thrilling quarter-final comeback against the Netherlands, our team is now just one step away from the final. Standing in their way is Latvia, a team with whom Serbia has a history of intense battles.

The Eagles will have the opportunity to avenge their losses to the Latvians in their last two encounters – in the European Championship quarter-finals and at the Olympic Games.

Should Serbia defeat Latvia, they will face the winner of the other semi-final, featuring Germany and France, in the final. If they lose, Serbia will compete for the bronze medal against the defeated team from that match.

The third-place playoff is scheduled for 8:05 PM, with the final kicking off at 9:15 PM.

The match begins at 6:00 PM, opening the semi-final program in Warsaw.

You can catch the live broadcast on RTS 2, as well as on TV Arena Sport Premium 4. A free live stream is also available on FIBA's official YouTube channel, and Sportal will provide a text-based live commentary.

The Serbian national team started their quarter-final match poorly, allowing their opponents to quickly establish a three-point lead (1:4). However, our basketball players soon found their rhythm and managed to equalize (7:7).

A new run from the Netherlands followed, putting the Eagles four points behind (9:13), but they responded emphatically with a massive comeback to take a 15:13 lead. From that moment until the end, Serbia maintained their advantage, which at one point stretched to 19:15.

Despite this, the Dutch didn't give up, narrowing the gap to a single point (20:19). However, Nemanja Barać scored the decisive final basket, securing Serbia's place in the semi-finals.

Stojačić was the most effective player for our team with nine points, Barać contributed six, Nerandžić five, and Milutinović added one point.
