Bosnia and Herzegovina defeated Italy tonight and qualified for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Bosnia and Herzegovina captain Edin Džeko took to social media after the great success.
“See you at the World Cup! I love you Bosnia and Herzegovina,” Džeko wrote.
The Dragons will play in Group B with the national teams of Canada, Switzerland and Qatar.
Bosnia and Herzegovina defeated the Italians after a better penalty shootout, but if you look at the statistics of the entire match, you can see not only that the victory was deserved, but that BiH was dominant as rarely before.
Namely, our team had a total of 11 shots on target against the Italians, as well as 12 shots outside the frame and 8 shots that were blocked. Unlike BiH, the Italians had only 3 shots on target and 4 outside the frame against Vasilje.
The possession of the ball was incredible, because our team had 61 percent of the ball in its possession, and the Italians had 39. We took 10 corners, the Italians four.
Let’s not mention the completed passes and other statistics, because everything shows that our team really deserved this victory and a place in a major competition.
