Bosnia & Herzegovina well played against Armenians in the first round of Euro 2020 qualification. They fully dominated the game and controlled 65% of ball possession. Moreover, they had 19 goal attempts and 6 on target. Mkhitaryan scored a goal for Armenia in the 93rd minute, so that was almost impossible to fight for a draw.
