Futsal Team Defeated in Spain

The Bosnia and Herzegovina national futsal team lost 1:6 tonight to Spain in the Palacio de Deportes in Cartagena during the second round of Group 8 Euro 2026 qualifiers.
 
 
After a convincing 5:1 win over England four days ago, Goran Melher's team couldn't secure a favorable result against the highly favored Spain. While our team had several attempts, the hosts had a convincing 4:0 lead by halftime. Goals for Spain were scored by Cecilio Morales (8'), Bebe (10'), Pablo Ramirez (13'), and Renato Lopes (16').
 
There were no goals in the second half until the 35th minute when Esteban Cejudo scored fifth goal for his team. Moments later, Bosnia and Herzegovina reduced the hosts' lead after Josip Sesar sent the ball to the far post toward Samir Gosto, but Ricardo Mayor accidentally deflected the ball into his own net. Antonio Perez secured the final score of 6:1 in the 38th minute.
 
In the group's other match, England defeated Switzerland 5:1 yesterday in Loughborough. After two rounds, Spain leads the group with 6 points, while Bosnia and Herzegovina and England have 3 points each, and Switzerland has none. The third round is scheduled for February 4, 2025, with Bosnia and Herzegovina hosting Switzerland and Spain visiting England.
