The Bosnia and Herzegovina handball team suffered a 34:25 loss to Iceland in a qualification match held at the "Mirza Delibašić" Hall in the KSC Skenderija in Sarajevo.

Under the guidance of coach Damir Doborac, the team was unable to compete with one of Europe’s strongest teams, and with this fourth loss in five matches, they have almost no chance of qualifying for the European Championship.

Iceland opened the match much more efficiently, taking a five-goal lead early on. The Bosnian team failed to score until the 8th minute, when Grgić became the first player in the home team’s jersey to find the net.

Throughout the match, Iceland easily found their way to the goal, while Bosnia and Herzegovina’s defense had no solution to the fast-paced play of the Icelandic team.

In the final minutes of the first half, Bosnia managed to reduce the deficit to three goals, but Iceland went into halftime with a five-goal advantage (18:13).

The second half started even worse for Bosnia, as Iceland quickly built an eight-goal lead (25:17), effectively sealing the outcome of the game early in the second half.

Iceland continued to increase their advantage and comfortably maintained a double-digit lead until the end of the match.
