Bosnia and Herzegovina manager Safet Susic had been praying for the outcome of the match between two of his next opponents, Nigeria and Iran, to end in a draw and he got his wish after both teams played goalless on Monday night.

The Bosnia Federation sent a spy, BorÄ�e SredojeviÄ�, to witness the game staged at Estádio Joaquim Américo Guimarães, Curitiba, Paraná.

“Destiny is in our hands. Even if we play a draw with Nigeria and win the last match, we’ll be among the top 16 teams.

“Nothing is certian in our group, the most important thing is that Nigeria did not win,” Safet Susic was quoted as saying by sportsport.ba.

Safet Susic, who featured at Italia 90, watched the match between the Super Eagles and Team Melli with his players.

Ahead of the meeting with Nigeria on Saturday, Bosnia are sweating on the fitness of ElazıÄ�spor center back, Ognjen Vranješ.
