Bosnia vs Italy: World Cup Playoff Underway

The World Cup playoff between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Italy commenced at 7:45pm BST at Bilino Polje Stadium. Bosnia's Edin Dzeko quickly made an impact, creating a nuisance of himself in the Italian box before feeding Dedic, whose low cross was cleared but led to a corner after a rebound.

Italy responded with Dimarco attempting to create opportunities for Kean and Tonali, while Politano's cross was intercepted by the Bosnian defense. Both teams showed attacking intent in the opening exchanges of this crucial playoff encounter.
