Lukic leads Bosnia into do-or-die Qatar clash

Win or go home

Tonight is it. Bosnia-Herzegovina face Qatar in the Group B finale and nothing less than three points keeps the World Cup alive (1) (2). Kickoff is 20:00 UK time, simultaneous with Switzerland vs Canada (4). The Round of 32 format means third place could still advance, but your team cannot rely on that math, a win is the only clear path forward.

The group so far

The opener stung. Switzerland 4–1 Bosnia-Herzegovina at SoFi Stadium, a scoreline that does not tell the whole story (4). Your team held firm for over 70 minutes before Johan Manzambi came off the Swiss bench and broke it open with two goals. Canada put six past Qatar, Canada 6–0 Qatar, while Switzerland and Qatar drew in their other match (3) (4). That leaves Canada and Switzerland at the top, Bosnia-Herzegovina third, Qatar bottom (3).

Jovo Lukic is the name to watch tonight. The forward has been central to everything going forward (1).

A win over Qatar, and the table looks very different by the end of Wednesday.
