Bosnia and Herzegovina coach Sergej Barbarez said after qualifying for the World Cup and a big victory over Italy in Zenica that he had never entered a match calmer.

The "Dragons" shocked the "Azure" at "Bilino Polje" with a better penalty shootout 4:1 (1:1) and for the second time in history, they qualified for the planetary championship.

"I would say we deserved to be at the World Cup. It wasn't easy, but I guess that's our path," Barbarez told BHRT after the match, adding:

"We believed from the first moment, I've never entered a game calmer, I'm proud of that and I told the guys to enjoy themselves. These are guys with character, I saw it in their eyes a moment ago, they thanked me for the emotions on my part," concluded the Mostar native.

Edin Džeko and the Saigas will play in Group B at the World Cup with Canada, Switzerland and Qatar.
