Bosnia vs Italy: World Cup Playoff Underway

The World Cup playoff between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Italy is underway in Bilino Polje Stadium, with both teams creating early chances.

The match kicked off at 7.45pm BST with immediate action as Bosnia's Dzeko caused problems in the Italian box, feeding Dedic on the left flank. A low cross was eventually cleared for a corner after a rebound nearly fell to an Italian player. Earlier in the match, Italy's Dimarco attempted a long ball for Kean, which was cleared by Bosnia's defense after being cushioned down to Tonali.

Both teams have shown attacking intent in the opening minutes of this crucial World playoff encounter, with Bosnia looking particularly threatening through Dzeko's movement and Italy attempting to utilize the width provided by Politano on the right wing.
