Bosnia and Herzegovina U-21 team lost the second qualifying match today at the stadium Asim Ferhatovic Hase, where they lost to Kazakhstan 1-2.

Coach Darko Nestorovic: "This loss is very difficult for us. We played against ourselves, and yet Kazakhstani goalkeeper managed to defend our attacks. Guests were faster and more agressive, we were slow and sluggish, and our opponent turned that against us."

Captain Armin Hodzic: "We didn't start good. Coach prepared us well but we failed. We received both goals easily, and it's hard to come around after that kind of disadvantage. We have to keep on working and preparing for upcoming games. Opponents are difficult, but it's not over yet."

In the next round, BIH U-21 team will play against Switzerland on Oct. 8th.
