Germany secured a 2-1 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina in the Nations League, with Deniz Undav scoring twice in the first half. The match took place at Stadion Bilino Polje, where Undav's goals in the 30th and 36th minutes gave Germany a strong lead. Despite Edin Dzeko's goal for Bosnia-Herzegovina after halftime, Germany managed to hold on for the win.

Florian Wirtz set up Undav's first goal by receiving a lofted pass from Robert Andrich and passing it back to Undav, who scored at the half-hour mark. Shortly after, Bosnia-Herzegovina nearly equalised when Ermedin Demirovic broke free on a counterattack. His shot beat German goalkeeper Alexander Nubel but grazed the crossbar.

This missed opportunity proved costly for Bosnia-Herzegovina as Undav soon converted a low cross from Maximilian Mittelstadt, extending Germany's lead to two goals. Although Undav thought he had completed his hat-trick in the 58th minute, his goal was disallowed for offside.

With 20 minutes remaining, Dzeko reduced the deficit by heading in a corner from Benjamin Tahriovic. However, Bosnia-Herzegovina couldn't find an equaliser. Germany remained unbeaten and moved two points ahead of the Netherlands with this win. Meanwhile, Bosnia-Herzegovina stayed at the bottom of their group with just one point from three matches.

Undav's Rising Form in Nations League

Undav has been impressive for Germany in this Nations League campaign. After scoring twice against Bosnia-Herzegovina, he now has three goals in two appearances. He also scored against the Netherlands in their previous match after not playing against Hungary.

The first goal against Bosnia-Herzegovina marked a significant moment as it was the first time in 15 years that two Stuttgart players combined for a Germany goal. Undav scored following an assist from his club teammate Mittelstadt.
