According to Liberation the Netherlands lacks a good attack plan. The newspaper was not sufficiently enchanted, it is written. ‘The Netherlands controlled the match with a lot of ball possession. However, an idea for the Bosnian goal was constantly lacking. Nothing exciting happened at Oranje. And that for such a top country.’
“On the other hand, Bosnia often managed to become dangerous with a few passes,” the medium analyzed. ‘We were braver than the Dutch team and wanted to win more. That was visible throughout the match and the Dutch team could barely create a chance.’

Sports club also agrees with that. ‘Bosnia has said an honorable farewell to the highest level of the Nations League. The opposition was very strong in this group, but a defeat was avoided against an opponent that was much stronger on paper. That’s impressive. It was certainly not undeserved tonight in Sarajevo.’
“A point against the Dutch means an honorable farewell to the elite group of the Nations League,” headlines Dnevni Avaz. ‘We saw excellent actions from Bosnia, which sometimes embarrassed the Dutch rearguard. The equalizer came thanks to a mistake by goalkeeper Mark Flokken. In the end it resulted in a point, in Bosnia’s best match in the Nations League.’
