Dragons brutally defeated in Zenica, Portugal scored all five goals in the first half

(Patria) - The national football team of Bosnia and Herzegovina suffered an unprecedented debacle at their home ground, Bilino Polje, tonight.

The Dragons were humiliated by the Portuguese selection in the 8th round of the European Championship qualifiers in Zenica, with Portugal celebrating a 5-0 victory.

Portugal scored all five goals in the first half, and it was clear they eased off in the second.

Thus, our country's national team continued its streak of disastrous results, and the dissatisfied crowd chanted loudly for a large part of the second half: “FEDERATION OUT!”.

Whether the president of the Football Federation of BiH, Vico Zeljković, will listen to public opinion and step down remains to be seen in the coming days.

Things immediately started poorly for the Dragons, and in the 4th minute, a penalty was awarded to the visitors after the ball unfortunately hit Barišić's hand on its way to the goal.

Referee Halil Umut Meler pointed to the spot, and the decision was confirmed by the VAR officials.

Ronaldo took the penalty and routinely scored for 0-1, which clearly unsettled the Dragons, who looked very poor in the following minutes.

Portugal then had two more dangerous attacks, but fortunately, they did not result in goals.

It's a miracle how Portugal didn't score in the 17th minute. Felix and Dalot played a beautiful move on the right side, the Manchester United defender crossed and found Bruno Fernandes unmarked, who missed the entire goal from eight meters.

Our team's midfield was completely non-existent on the field, and in the 20th minute, new major problems arose. The entire team was bypassed with one pass, Felix played Ronaldo through, who scored for 2-0.

Initially, the goal was disallowed, but after the situation was reviewed in the VAR room, it was eventually allowed, making it 2-0 for Portugal. It was definitely decided by millimeters…

Portugal scored their third goal in the 26th minute, with Bruno Fernandes as the scorer, after an assist from Inácio.

Our national team threatened for the first time in the 29th minute after a good move by Dedić; Demirović was eventually blocked, but an offside was signaled later anyway…

In the 32nd minute, Portugal scored their fourth goal. Ronaldo missed the cut-back from the right side, but it reached Cancelo, who hammered it into the top corner for a huge 4-0 lead.

In the 38th minute, there was another scramble in front of Šehić's goal, and Džeko somehow cleared the danger and kicked the ball out for a throw-in.

Then, while Ronaldo was waiting to take the throw-in, a fan ran onto the field and even reached the superstar, stepping on the Portuguese player's ankle.

Ronaldo complained of an injury and held his ankle, but fortunately, he was not injured in the end, and security apprehended the irresponsible fan and escorted them off the field.

After that, Joao Felix scored the fifth goal, and by the 42nd minute, the Dragons' net had been breached five times. Otavio provided the assist…

BiH had their first dangerous chance in the second half through Hadžiahmetović in the 49th minute, but the Portuguese cleared the danger after his cross from the right.

The match became completely monotonous in the following minutes, and the lull was broken by Stevanović's shot in the 63rd minute, which was blocked.

The lull continued after that. Both teams were completely uninterested in playing, and the chant “Federation, out” constantly echoed from the stands.
