Milosevic's back-flick in the eighth minute was the highlight of the half, which Yugoslavia dominated. It also made the former Aston Villa striker joint leading scorer in Euro 2000, with three goals.

Milosevic, now at Real Zaragoza, flicked home Ljubinko Drulovic's free-kick from close range.

Chelsea's Tore Andre Flo came close to a 12th-minute equaliser but the ball was tipped away at full stretch by Yugoslavia keeper Ivica Kralj.

The goal moved Milosevic level with Slovenia's Zlatko Zahovic, who scored his third in the 2-1 defeat by Spain.

Milosevic had a chance to put Yugoslavia two-up but this time it was Norway defender Bjorn Otto Bragstad who made a superb tackle to deny him.

Slavisa Jokanovic was cautioned by Scottish referee Hugh Dallas for an ugly challenge on Norway's Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

On the half-hour, Solskjaer's claims for a penalty were turned down by Dallas, with the Norwegian insisting he had been held back in the area.

On the stroke of half-time skipper Dragan Stojkovic wasted an excellent chance to settle the match.

Yugoslavia broke down the left and Stojkovic was clear on the right of the Norway box when he received the ball. But instead of shooting he tried to chip a pass to Milosevic and sliced wide.
