Bosnia vs Italy: World Cup Playoff Underway

At Bilino Polje Stadium, the World Cup playoff between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Italy commenced with the hosts pressing forward. Dzeko made a nuisance of himself on the edge of the Italian box, feeding Dedic on the left, before a low cross was hacked clear by Calafiori. The rebound fell to Locatelli but nothing came of the resulting corner as Italy's defense appeared shaky in the early exchanges.

Italy responded with Dimarco attempting a long pass to Kean, who cushioned down for Tonali. The ball was slipped wide right to Politano, but his cross was cleared by the first defender. Both teams are finding their footing in this crucial World playoff encounter.
