Bosnians leave Belgium bruised in Genk

Edin Džeko's early goal sent Bosnia-Herzegovina on their way as they produced one of the shock results of the night by beating Belgium in Genk.

Early lead
The VfL Wolfsburg striker exploited lackadaisical defending to curl a right-footed shot into the net after seven minutes as Belgium struggled to get out of the blocks. Although Wesley Sonck hit the outside of the post later in the half, it took 65 minutes before Belgium finally levelled the FIFA World Cup Group 5 tie with Moussa Dembélé finishing off a Gill Swerts cross.

Scant consolation
The game was then held up for several minutes due to incidents in the crowd, and when it resumed Bosnia-Herzegovina swiftly restored their advantage. Sanel Jahić beat goalkeeper Stijn Stijnen after the Red Devils' rearguard was caught napping once more. Zlatan Bajramović was next to outwit Stijnen in a one-on-one on 81 minutes, before Zvezdjan Misimović made it 4-1 five minutes later after holding off Timmy Simons. Sonck's late penalty was scant consolation. The two sides meet again in Sarajevo on Wednesday.
