Bosnia-Herzegovina 0 – 1 Portugal (/’56 Meireles)
Bosnia was confident in it’s chances of going to the World Cup in South Africa, especially after the game exciting in Portugal and with star Cristiano Ronaldo missing. Bosnians were determined overturn the 1-0 defeat in portugal and go for the first time in at a final tournament.
“I will create an environment so that my players are ready to attack the Portuguese as hungry wolves. We’ll storm, but for that we need public support. I want to put such pressure since the first minutes, so that the Portuguese do not be able to understand what happens. We are convinced that we can recover the difference from the tour game and we can qualify for the tournament, “said full of optimism before the game, coach Miroslav Blažević.
But was never so. The hosts fought to put even the goal that would have led Bosnia into overtime, but Meireles has shattered dreams. FC Porto midfielder fails to open the score in the 56th minute and shatters dreams Bosnians increase. Portugal fails to win back the dam and stick to CM 2010 and go to South Africa.
