Bosnia fight back to hold second-string Netherlands to draw

Bosnia fought back to claim only their second point of their Nations League campaign as they held a second-string Netherlands side to a 1-1 draw on Tuesday.

Ermedin Demirovic equalised in the 67th minute, as Bosnia chased a positive result in an effort to give veteran striker Edin Dzeko a fitting send-off in his final international.

Brian Brobbey had given the much-changed Dutch outfit a 24th-minute lead at the Bilino Polje Stadium after coach Ronald Koeman fielded an entirely fresh line-up for their last fixture in Group A3.

The Netherlands had already secured second place in the group, and a spot in the quarterfinals in March, with a 4-0 win over Hungary on Saturday while Bosnia’s relegation from the top tier of the Nations League was confirmed after losing 7-0 to Germany at the same time.
