See why I'd be overruled naked against Poland
During the UEFA Nations League match between Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and Poland in Zenica, Bosnia's player Haris Tabaković scored a goal in the 48th minute, but it was disallowed by the referee after review by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). The decision was based on the position of defender Ermedin Demirović, who was deemed to have interfered with play by being in an offside position. Although Tabaković was not in an offside position and his challenge was not disputed, the involvement of Demirović led to the goal being overturned. Despite this, Bosnia went on to win the match 1-0 through a penalty scored by Ivan Bašić in the 84th minute. The decision caused dissatisfaction among Bosnian players and coaches, including head coach Sergej Barbareza, but the French referee Jérémie Pignard upheld the VAR decision. This result keeps Bosnia in contention for first place in Group B4, where they compete against Sweden, Poland, and Romania.
