Serbia target second round

(GSM) – Serbia striker Nikola Zigic is targeting a second round finish at the World Cup from remaining two Group D matches.

Asamoah Gyan’s goal lifted Ghana to a 1-0 victory over Serbia. The defeat leaves the White Eagles needing a win in their next game with Germany who defeated Australia 4-0 in the other group game but Zigic insisted his side would not fear about Germany match in Port Elizabeth on Friday.

“We need to forget about Ghana and go for it in the remaining two matches,” said the newly-signed Birmingham striker.

“We won’t be going for four points but for all six, although there are some permutations where a draw and a win would suffice for us.

“Germany were excellent against Australia but they had an one-man advantage for the entirety of the second half. It’s all up to us right now and we have to believe we can qualify for the second round. We need to remain composed.

“We need to be careful and wait for our opportunity to come. We still believe in ourselves but the mistakes we made against Ghana cannot happen against Germany.”
