[wzslider autoplay=”true”]National football team of BiH was defeated with the score 3: 1 by selection of Spain in a friendly match that was played in St. Gallen. Our team provided very good resistance since they played without excluded Emir Spahic from the 45th minute, whose reckless move marked the match.
This was the 7th meeting between BiH and Spain and the first in the friendly matches. Counting this match, Spain has 5 wins, while 2 matches were finished as draws.
Head coach Mehmed Bazdarevic could not count in this match on injured Ermin Bicakcic, Senad Lulic and Vedad Ibisevic, who were not even on the list. When it comes to players who came from Switzerland, Rijad Bajic drop out because of injury. The 21-year-old striker of Dinamo Zagreb, Armin Hodzic, enrolled his debut in the jersey of the Dragons.
On the other side, Vicente del Bosque could not count on players of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid as well as players of Sevilla. Therefore, Spain came in quite different composition.
Spaniards had a 100 % chance through Aduriz in the first minute, which was stopped by our goalkeeper Asmir Begovic. There was no excitement in the next 10 minutes, but Spain had the last word.
The network was shaken in 11th minute for the first time, when Nolito checkmated Begovic. The Spaniards had a corner on the left, and after short pass and after a quick action, they made a center shot. Dzeko, in order to eliminate the danger, added the ball to Nolito who scored for 1: 0.
Our team looked quite confused at the beginning of the match, and new shock followed by Nolito in the 18th minute. This time Besic poorly responded and Celta Vigo used this and scored for 2:0.
As time went by, our team played better and we managed to make better attacks. After such an attack we won a corner on the right, Pjanic centered, and Emir Spahic scored for 2:1 in 29th minute.
In last minutes of the match, there was a conflict between our players and players of Spain, in which Spahic got a red card, and our team was left with one player less.
On the beginning of the second part, Izet Hajrovic replaced Edin Visca in the 46th minute and brought a bit of freshness to our team, which played very well, although we had a player less.
New great chance came in the 66th minute when Duljevic hit goalpost while seeking for Djuric. Four minutes later, Duljevic created another chance after Pjanic’s great shot, but the ball went near the left goalpost.
These chances are an indication that the national team of BiH dealt very well with Spain, despite of numerical advantage. The Spaniards had their chance to score in the 75th minute, when Oyarzabal shot next to the goal.
When it seemed that the second half will bring no goals, Pedro set the final 3: 1 in the last minute, after which the match was ended.
