Nikolina Milović came close in the 7th minute when her cross from the right struck the Romanian post. Romania then had three chances - Mihaela Ciolacu and Olga Iordachiu both had attempts from tight angles on the right in the 11th, but they missed the target. In the 33rd minute, Stefania Vatafu took a shot from a promising position on the right, but Almina Hodžić made an excellent save.
Our team took the lead in the 38th when Emina Ekić delivered a corner from the right, and Đula Velagić reacted best in the box to send the ball into the net. Ekić provided another great assist in the 48th minute, this time from a free kick on the right, as Marija Ana Milinković scored for 2:0. Minela Gačanica capitalized on a counterattack in the 79th to extend the lead to 3:0, before Dajana Spasojević set up Sofija Krajšumović from the right side in the 86th minute for the fourth goal.
In the next round, Bosnia and Herzegovina will face Northern Ireland in Belfast on February 25 at 20:00.
