DRAGONS AHEAD TO BRAZIL

Bosnian Dragons, taking attentions with reliable performance in three recent tournaments, goes ahead for Brazil 2014. Thanks to good performance points, Bosnia is in a relatively easy group and is currently the leader of the group.

Bosnia had a good start on September 7 by a superb 8-1 start against Liechtenstein where Vedad İbiseviç and Edin Dzeko had hat-tricked. Since then, thanks to the goal surplus, Bosnia has been the leader of the group, beyond Greece. In the second match, played in Biljino Polje Stadium in Zenica, Bosnia was victorious against Latvia with 4-1. The third match was with Greece and a 0-0 draw can be identified as a success against the runner up team. After four days, again in Biljino Polje against Lithuania, İbişeviç at 29th, Dzeko at 35th, and Pjaniç at 41st minutes, within a period of 12 minutes, did the good job and continues leadership.

Dzeko, who scored one goal and assisted another, reaching 26 goals in 49 matches, began to hold the title of most goal scorer of Bosnian national team, which was held by Zvijezdan Misimoviç by 25 goals in 71 matches. Mirelam Pjaniç, the striker of AS Roma, scoring one goal and assisting two others is modest by stating that Ognjen Vranjeş, playing in Krasnodar in Russian League, and originally from Banja Luka was the man of the match with his superb game by cutting off the attacks of Lithuania.

Trainer Safet Susiç supported Pjaniç by saying that especially at the second half Vranjeş’s performance was excellent keeping in mind that Lithuania played her best match in the group until now and if they could not score more, it is by the help of Vranjeş.
