Bosnia-Herzegovina through to World Cup

Vedad Ibisevic's goal for Bosnia and Herzegovina against Lithuania is enough for them to win Group G and qualify for next year's World Cup finals in Brazil.

Bosnia and Herzegovina have qualified for the 2014 World Cup finals with a 1-0 away victory over Lithuania.

This is the first time ever that the European country have booked their place in football's biggest tournament, just 18 years after playing their first international match.

Safet Susic's side got the better of Lithuania 1-0 in Kaunas thanks to Vedad Ibisevic's goal midway through the second half.

The victory means that Bosnia finish their World Cup qualifying campaign as Group G winners with 25 points from 10 matches.

Greece, who beat Liechtenstein 2-0 also on Tuesday, finished with 25 points as well, but an inferior goal difference means that the Euro 2004 winners will have to settle for a playoff spot.
