The Bosnia and Herzegovina national team secured an important away victory, beating Romania 2-4 in the Nations League. The coaching staff led by Sergej Barbarez achieved their target of at least four points from the two matches against Poland and Romania, following a draw in Warsaw and this win in Bucharest.
Barbarez was delighted with his players' approach. "With Mahmić and Gigović, and even Demirović, we got a dynamic, they work well, they are physically ready, but that courage amazed me and that is the path we want to take," said the coach. He added that the journey itself is important to him, with results serving to improve and accelerate it.
The Dragons built their win early, thanks to goals from Armin Gigović in the 12th minute and Tarik Muharemovic in the 19th. After Romania pulled one back, Haris Tabaković made it 1-3 before halftime. In the second half, Ermin Mahmić scored the fourth for BiH, with the hosts netting another for the final 2-4 scoreline. This victory ended a run of three defeats in the last five matches, where the team's form stood at one win, one draw, and three losses.
Attention now turns to an emotional match against Sweden in Zenica on Tuesday. It will be the final national team appearance for the legendary Edin Džeko. "With Džeko we can boldly seek another victory," said Barbarez, anticipating great euphoria and aiming for more points. The next fixture against Sweden at the Bilino Polje Stadium is scheduled for October 2nd at 20:45.
