STARA PAZOVA, Serbia (Interstat) — The Serbia under-17 women’s national team opened its UEFA Under-17 Championship women’s qualification campaign with a commanding 4-1 victory over Andorra on Sunday at Sportski Centar Fudbalskog saveza Srbije.

The host Serbian side, playing in the second week of the European qualification tournament, controlled the match from the outset and showcased a potent attack led by a hat trick from forward Teodora Vasić.

Serbia established dominance early. Vasić opened the scoring in the 13th minute, setting the tone for the home side. Andorra, however, provided a brief response just three minutes later. Forward Júlia Rodriguez Falcon found the net in the 16th minute to equalize at 1-1, capitalizing on one of the visiting team’s few first-half opportunities.

The tie was short-lived. Serbia’s pressure quickly told again as Hana Sinanović restored the lead in the 34th minute. Just a minute later, Vasić struck for her second goal of the match, sending Serbia into halftime with a 3-1 advantage.

The second half continued in similar fashion, with Serbia extending its lead. Midfielder Nevena Kurteš scored in the 47th minute to make it 4-1. Vasić then completed her hat trick in the 53rd minute, showcasing her finishing prowess before being substituted in the 78th minute.

Serbia’s depth was on full display as the substitutes contributed to the scoreline. Midfielder Ana Nikolić added a goal in the 62nd minute. Late in the match, substitute Lana Todorović, who had entered the game for Vasić, scored twice in quick succession in the 83rd and 87th minutes. Fellow substitute Sara Mitić completed the scoring in the 89th minute.

Andorra’s lone disciplinary note came in the 82nd minute when Karen Rodriguez Giadas received a yellow card.

The result aligns with pre-match projections. Interstat’s game simulator had projected a 4-0 victory for Serbia, while its ELO rating system gave the host nation a 66.4 percent probability of winning.

With the victory, Serbia begins the qualification stage with one win and no losses. Andorra starts its campaign with one loss. Both teams will continue their pursuit of a place in the UEFA Under-17 Championship during the ongoing qualification round.
