Benfica-bound Dedic shines on a special night with Bosnia national team | OneFootball

Amar Dedic, who strengthened Benfica in the last summer transfer window, was in action last night, October 12, in Bosnia’s 4-1 thrashing of Malta. With his return to the Eagles approaching, the right-back enjoyed an unforgettable match.

After the draw against Cyprus (2-2), the national coach decided to make a full-on overhaul of Bosnia’s starting eleven, with Amar Dedic one of only three players to keep his place after Friday’s game, which allowed the number 17 to wear the captain’s armband for the second time in 22 caps.

Playing away from home did not throw Bosnia off, as they started better against Malta. At halftime, the team of the Benfica star was already leading 1-0, thanks to a goal by Amar Memic in the 18th minute.

In the second half, with the number 17 already on the bench, the visitors found the net again and, in the 53rd minute, Haris Tabaković doubled the lead. However, Malta pulled one back from the penalty spot in the 60th minute through Paul Mbong. Later in the match, Tabaković scored again to make it 3-1, and two minutes later, Nail Omerović sealed the 4-1 final score.

World Cup qualifiers: Romania (11/15) and Austria (11/18).
