Edin Dzko Furious After Substitution in Bosnia’s 3‑1 Win Over Qatar

Bosnian striker Edin Džeko was visibly angry after being taken off in the 64th minute of his team’s 3‑1 victory over Qatar in the final Group B match of the 2026 World Cup. The Bosnian side led 3‑0 before Qatar pulled one back, and Džeko’s reaction on the bench was captured on video. A Romanian outlet reported his comment: “Edin Džeko a fost vizibil furios în momentul în care a ieșit de pe teren, nevenindu-i să creadă că el trebuie să fie înlocuit.” Bosnia finished third in the group, putting them in a strong position to advance to the round of 16.

Other matches on the same matchday included a 1‑1 draw between Universitatea Craiova and Sabah Baku, after which players Filipe Coelho and Luca Băsceanu gave statements. The GSP director also criticised the Czech Republic’s performance, calling it a major disappointment in the tournament’s group stage.
