Spain started their UEFA Nations League campaign with a tough draw in Serbia.
Luis de la Fuente stuck with most of the same starting lineup that won the Euro 2024 title in July.
However, their first game of the 2024/25 season was far less exciting as they failed to break down a resolute home defense in Belgrade.
Both sides survived half-chances in the first hour before Spain almost grabbed a road win in the closing stages.
