Bosnia and Herzegovina v Wales
Welcome to Sky Sports live interactive coverage of Ollie Emmerson's first competetive match in charge of Wales, away at Bosnia. Edin Dzeko misses out for Bosnia as he pulled his thigh in training yesterday and that is a major loss for Bosnia.
We have just recieved the Wales line up and here it is.
Hennessey GK
Bale LB
J.Collins CB
D.Collins CB
Ricketts RB
Pearson LM
Ramsey CM
Collison CM
Davies RM
Church CF
Vokes CF
A young Pearson makes his Wales debut with no Bellamy or Ledley in the starting line up. Emmerson starts with the 442 formation he used against Gambia.
Wales kick off from right to left with Collison linking up with Davies as they look to mount early pressure.
10 minutes in and Pjanic has hit the bar for Bosnia from a thundering shot from 30 yards out.
Its a goal! And it's gone to Wales! Sam Vokes pounced after a backpass and rounded Begovic before placing the ball into the net. 20 minutes in and Wales are ahead. A dream start to their qualifying campaign.
30 minutes gone and Wales are finding it hard against a strong Bosnia side. But their defence is staying strong and Wayne Hennessey has made some good saves.
Goal to Wales! Aaron Ramsey with a beautiful strike into the top corner from 25 yards out. Collison brought two men to him and the layed it off to Ramsey who did the rest. 2-0 to Wales!
Half time
Bosnia kick off the second half with two substitutes coming on up front, and one of them is Edin Dzeko. Bosnia take the risk of playing him while he is injured, however they need goals.
Its surely all over now! Wales are 3-0 up and it's Jack collison with the strike! Wales won a free kick on the edge of the box after Pearson was fouled. It was nudged across to Collison who smashed the shot in. Just 5 minutes into the second half and surely now Wales will be going home with the three points.
Penalty to Bosnia! A handball by Sam Ricketts. It was a corner swung in and headed on by Dzeko. Ricketts could not do much about it but it had to be given. Ricketts was not issued a card.
Dzeko misses! He slips as he takes it and blazes the ball wide. He has had to go off as a result of hurting his thigh when slipping. Wales breath a sigh of relief.
10 minutes left now and it's still 3-0 to Wales. They have bought on Joe Ledley, Craig Bellamy and David Edwards just to freshen things up. Nothing much happening, Wales seem fine with passing the ball around whilst Bosnia have given up all hope.
Full time
And it's an opening win for Wales' against the odds they have come and beaten Bosnia and Herzegovina by 3 goals to nil with goals from Sam Vokes, Aaron Ramsey and Jack Collison. Bosnia had their chances, they hit the bar in the first half and missed a penalty in the second.
