🎥 At Bosnia v Italy it kicks off! Block of flats ablaze, Bastoni sees red | OneFootball

For Bosnia and Italy, today is all about the last chance to be part of the World Cup this summer. There’s plenty of fire in this playoff clash between the two nations. 

Even before kick-off in Zenica, lots of pyrotechnics were set off. Even in the apartment block next to the Bilino Polje stadium.

Bosnia may have made the better start, but Italy took the lead thanks in large part to Bosnia keeper Nikola Vasilj of FC St. Pauli. Moise Kean coolly buried the gift-wrapped through ball. 

After that, Bosnia continued to be on the front foot. Shortly before the break, Memic was through on Donnarumma, and Italy’s defensive leader Bastoni pulled the emergency brake with a sliding tackle. The Inter man was shown a straight red, as expected.

With the man advantage, Bosnia still has plenty to play for in the second half. Italy continues to tremble over its first World Cup appearance in twelve years.
