Bosnia and Herzegovina Futsal National Team Suffers Defeat Against Spain in First European Championship Appearance

(Patria) - The Bosnia and Herzegovina futsal national team played its first match at the European Championship, but could not match the powerful Spanish team, which won 5:1.

BH futsal players did not disappoint, although they were at a disadvantage against a strong favorite, but they could not achieve a sensation at the start of the European Championship in the Netherlands.

Our team had the first chance of the match through Arnautović, but in the third minute, after a nice play, Gomez gave the Spaniards the lead.

Several good opportunities followed for the Spaniards, although we also had a sitter through Aladžić in the eighth minute, when a Spanish player cleared the ball from the goal line.

In the ninth minute, Campos took advantage of a big mistake by our defense for 2:0, and soon after, Lozano hit the post.

In the 13th minute, a historic goal for BiH at the Euros was scored by Josip Bošković. Chances continued to come before our goal until halftime, and then Lozano increased the lead to 3:1 in the 18th minute.

In the second half, the pace slowed down a bit, and the Spaniards, through veteran Ortiz in the 22nd minute, came to a 4:1 lead. In the final moments, Ortiz confirmed Spain's convincing victory with his second goal.

The seven-time European champion was a tough opponent for Ivo Krezo's squad. There is no doubt that the Spaniards will be among the main favorites for the trophy at the Euros.

Georgia and Azerbaijan played the second match in the group, and Georgia was better with 3:2. We are left hoping that we can secure second place in the duels with Georgia and Azerbaijan and qualify for the next stage.
