Match report
Norway U21 ran riot against Bosnia and Herzegovina U21, winning 6-1 in the Group Stage - 20 of the UEFA Under-21 Championship Qualification on 29 September 2026. The hosts were clinical from the opening exchanges, with M. Deket and S. W. Egeli striking inside the first fifteen minutes to set the tone. Bosnia and Herzegovina never really settled, and by then it was clear this would be a one-sided afternoon.
Egeli doubled his tally just before the break before the visitors lost Ibrisimovic to injury at the restart. Norway gradually tightened their grip, and here's the thing — it wasn't just the scoreline that told the story. Odegard and Egeli added further blows before Hjerto-Dahl pulled one more back late on, and Odegard rounded off the scoring in the 87th minute to complete a comprehensive victory.
The statistics paint an even starker picture. Norway enjoyed 64 per cent possession and registered 11 shots on target compared to Bosnia and Herzegovina's single attempt on goal. The Bosnian side managed only 25 per cent shot accuracy and had zero corners, while Norway accumulated 12 corners and 106 attacks. To be fair, the result was never in doubt once Bosnia switched off at a set piece.
Norway move clear at the top of the group with 13 points from six games, four wins, one draw and one defeat. Bosnia and Herzegovina sit third on seven points from one victory, four draws and a loss. The hosts had drawn 0-0 with Netherlands U21 in their previous outing but this performance was a world away from that pedestrian display. Bosnia and Herzegovina will need the points badly if they are to stay in contention.
