Thank you for joining in. Don't forget that the UEFA Nations League continues tomorrow and I'll see you then. Good-bye.
Germany maintained control of the match in the second half, consistently applying pressure, particularly through Maximilian Mittelstadt's dangerous crosses from the left. Undav thought he had scored Germany's third goal of the evening, only to have it ruled out for offside after a lengthy VAR check, denying him a hat trick. This reprieve energized Bosnia, who pulled a goal back with 20 minutes remaining, as veteran striker Edin Dzeko managed to get free from his marker and head the ball past goalkeeper Alexander Nubel. However, Bosnia's late surge proved insufficient, and they remain winless in Group A3.
Currently ranked 75th in the FIFA world rankings, Bosnia faced a significant challenge against the formidable German side, who recently reached the quarter-finals of UEFA Euro 2024. From the outset, it was evident that Bosnia struggled to assert themselves, as Germany quickly took control and established a two-goal lead by halftime. The scoring opened with a brilliant assist from Florian Wirtz, whose precise knockdown set up the in-form Undav. The forward, who has been enjoying a prolific spell in the Bundesliga with four goals in six matches, unleashed a powerful strike from 12 yards that left Bosnia's goalkeeper, Nikola Vasilj, with no chance. Undav further extended Germany's advantage just before the break, capitalizing on a well-delivered cross from Maximilian Mittelstadt on the left flank to find the back of the net once again.

Tensions rise between the two players, but the referee swiftly intervenes to prevent the situation from escalating further. To send a clear message, he brandishes a yellow card to both Kimmich and Demirovic for their unsportsmanlike behavior.
