Tim Cahill put Australia ahead in the 69th minute. Brett Holman doubled the lead after four minutes.
Marko Pantelic pulled one back for Serbia in the 84st minute
Serbia would have gone through to the knock-out stages of the tournament if they had grabbed a late equalizer. In the final minutes of the game, referee Jorge Larrionda didn't award Serbian side a late penalty after Cahill appeared to handle the ball in the box.
With Germany beating Ghana 1-0 in the evening's other match, Australia finished level on four points with the Africans. But their goal difference was worse
than Ghana's and that condemned them to a third place finish.
Serbia finished bottom of the group with three points.
