Alajbegović Rescues Late Point For Bosnia

Bosnia & Herzegovina and Sweden shared the points in Zenica after a tense Nations League B battle ended 1-1, with the hosts snatching a deserved equalizer deep into the second half. The breakthrough looked set to go Sweden's way after Viktor Gyökeres had an earlier strike chalked off for offside following a VAR check, only for him to make no mistake in the 61st minute, blasting home from the centre of the box after a Alexander Bernhardsson assist. Sweden also had to reshuffle early, with Eric Smith replacing an injured Carl Starfelt inside the first half-hour. Bosnia refused to fold, and Kerim Alajbegović leveled things in the 80th minute with a thumping effort from outside the area off a free kick, sparking wild celebrations at Bilino Polje. Both benches rang the changes late as they chased a winner that never came. For Sweden, it's a missed chance to seize control of the group, while Bosnia & Herzegovina will take real encouragement from fighting back against tough opponents on home soil.
