Overview
- Bosnia-Herzegovina beat Italy in Zenica on Tuesday, winning 4-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw through extra time.
- Italy played the final hour with ten men after Alessandro Bastoni’s first-half red card, which shifted the match’s momentum.
- The shootout turned immediately when Francesco Pio Esposito missed Italy’s first kick and Bryan Cristante later failed from the spot.
- The victory places Bosnia in Group B with Canada, Qatar and Switzerland, as Sweden, Czechia and Turkey also qualified to complete the tournament field.
- Edin Dzeko captained Bosnia through a charged night at Bilino Polje, where FIFA had capped attendance at 8,800 because of prior discriminatory fan behavior.
