UEFA Nations League: Netherlands held by Bosnia in goalless draw - football news - Sportstar

The Hindu  

Bosnia and Herzegovina put the disappointment of European Championship playoff elimination behind it to hold the Netherlands to a goalless draw in their Nations League A Group 1 match on Sunday. The Dutch threatened early with defender Stefan de Vrij finding space in between the Bosnian defence in its penalty area but got only a glancing touch to a good heading opportunity in the fifth minute. Quincy Promes booted a shot well over the top in another half chance for the Dutch and De Vrij had another glancing header in a limp first half from both sides. Frenkie de Jong got the visitor first shot on target in the 77th minute, turned away by Bosnia goalkeeper Ibrahim Sehic, and from the resultant corner Luuk de Jong watched in disbelief as his powerful header was also pushed around the post in a breathtaking save.
