World Cup qualifying match

Bosnia 1 - Spain 1

Spain opened their World Cup qualifying campaign with a disappointing 1-1 draw in Bosnia. Luis Aragonés's side struggled to get going in the hostile Zeneca stadium, and it was not until the start of the second half that they had their first real attempt at goal, Raúl hitting the bar in the first minute after the restart. Aragonés went for broke bringing on Morientes and Valerón to join Raúl and Reyes in a four man attack, but it was Vicente who put them in front with a shot which took a slight deflection off a defender midway through the half. Ex Rayo Vallecano striker Bolic equalised though a quarter of an hour from the end to save a point for his side. (08.09.04)
