In the third round of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League group stage, Bosnia and Herzegovina faced Sweden at the Belinopoli Stadium in Zenica. After 90 minutes of intense play, the two sides drew 1-1.

After this match, Sweden leads Group B4 with 7 points from 2 wins and 1 draw. Bosnia and Herzegovina's record is now 1 win and 2 losses, with 5 points, placing them behind Sweden.

After the start of the first half, Sweden and Bosnia and Herzegovina traded attacks, each having their share of chances. In the 5th minute, Viktor Lindelöf's long pass from the back found Viktor Dzekerreš, whose low shot from the right side of the penalty area was saved by Sarko Hamčić. In the 11th minute, Eismir Baghtareć crossed from the right, and Klim Alaibegovic's shot inside the penalty area was caught by Viktor Johansson. In the 17th minute, Dzekerreš scored after receiving a cross from Alexander Bernhardsson, but VAR ruled that he had committed a handball foul beforehand.

In the 28th minute, Sebastian Nanasy delivered a free kick from the right flank, but both Dzekeresh and Karl Stafelt's headers failed to find the net. In the 42nd minute, Nanasy's free kick from the left was headed over the bar by Lindelof. In the third minute of first-half stoppage time, Edin Dzeko's shot inside the penalty area was disallowed by the referee because the ball had already gone out of play before his shot.

The second half began with both sides switching ends. In the 61st minute, Bernhardsson delivered a through ball from midfield, and Dzekereis broke into the penalty area and fired a powerful shot to give Sweden the lead. However, their lead only lasted about 19 minutes: in the 80th minute, Baghtarevic's free-kick cross from the right wing caused chaos in the opponent's penalty area, and Krim Alaibegovic seized the opportunity to score and equalize. Neither side managed to find the net again, and the final score remained 1-1.
