Gyökere's goal was disallowed after handtouch - Dzevo's dismissal was also not approved

After an hour of play, Viktor Gyökeres was able to break the deadlock. Alexander Bernhardsson played forward in depth and Gyökeres pushed on and fired the ball into the goal with full force for 1–0.

Soon after, Edin Dzeko was replaced and both teams paid tribute to the Bosnian legend.

1-0 seemed to stand but after a Bosnian free kick, which Gabriel Gudmundsson did not understand at all, the team held firm and Kerim Alajbegovic's shot found its way all the way into the goal via the post for 1-1 - this created out of nothing with ten minutes left.

Gyökeres blown on goal

In the 17th minute, everyone thought Gyökeres had given Sweden the lead after nicely taking down Bernhardsson's cross and finishing powerfully.

He made his patented victory gesture, no opponent protested, but the situation was VAR-reviewed after a while.

It turned out that Gyökeres touched the ball with his hand as it was coming down and the goal was disallowed, which took many replays to discover.

Dzeko blown on fairytale ending

However, it could have been a Swedish penalty in the same situation when the ball touched a Bosnian hand.

In first-half stoppage time, Dzeko, 40, fired home 1-0 for Bosnia and looked set to write his own fairytale chapter in his final international, but that goal was also disallowed. Here, the ball had been outside the short line by a centimeter just before.

Half a million people had applied for tickets for the game, which was played in a stadium that held 15,000 people.
