In the 9th round of qualifications for EURO, national football team of B&H defeated team of Wales with the score 2: 0. Milan Djuric and Vedad Ibisevic scored the goals for our team. Dragons have everything in their hands now, since the national team of Cyprus defeated Israel with the score 2: 1.
Our representatives took the initiative at the very beginning of the match, but they didn’t managed to score in the first half of the match.
The biggest star of Wales Gareth Bale was practically invisible until the 34th minute when he shot free kick from 30 meters straight at our goalkeeper Begovic.
First yellow card was in the 42nd minute when Emir Spahic knocked down Bale, who was in a full sprint on the left side.
In the last minute of the first half of the match, Ramsey tried to breakthrough solo, but our defense responded on time.
After the first half of the match, coach Bazdarevic replaced Emir Spahic with Edin Cocalic.
In the 60th minute, coach Bazdarevic replaced visibly tired Visca with corpulent Milan Djuric, since the players of Wales were dominant in the jumping game during the first hour of the match. This move turned out to be a great success since the Bilino Polje started boiling in the 71st minute when Milan Djuric checkmated goalkeeper of Wales. Miralem Pjanic made a great center shot and Djuric sent the ball in the goal of Wales.
Wales went for all or nothing, but Ramsey, Belle and Edwards were imprecise.
And then, we scored our second goal in the 90th minute. Miralem Pjanic performed a strong shoot, the ball hit some of the visiting players and went off for a corner. Pjanic performed the kick from the corner, and Vedad Ibisevic easily scored for the final 2: 0.
Our team will play a decisive match against Cyprus in three days, where our victory would definitely lead us in the playoffs.
