The Dragons Triumph in Zenica to Claim Top Spot in Their Group

The Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team recorded their second win in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, defeating Cyprus 2-1 at Bilino Polje. With this triumph, the Dragons took the lead in Group H with six points from two matches.

Bosnia and Herzegovina took the lead in the 22nd minute when Ermedin Demirović capitalized on a great free kick by Haris Hajradinović. Cyprus managed to equalize in first-half stoppage time through Jonis Pitas, who capitalized on a rebound from a Kousoulos shot.

Sergej Barbarez made a double substitution in the second half, and in the 57th minute, Hajradinović scored to give BiH a new lead. The Dragons had several more chances until the end of the match, including a goal that was disallowed for offside and a shot by Radeljić that hit the post, but the score remained 2-1.

Bosnia and Herzegovina will welcome San Marino in the next round, while Cyprus is visiting Romania.
