Bosnia and Herzegovina striker Edin Džeko found it difficult to accept the 4-1 defeat to Switzerland at the World Cup. He believes the loss was too heavy, considering the performance of both teams.

"The defeat is by too heavy a margin; we deserved more from this match. The scoreline is certainly excessive. Unfortunately, we couldn't hold on for the last 20 minutes. All the goals we conceded were naive. This is a competition where you can't be late to any ball. At 0-1, we also received a red card; we should have closed down more and focused on not conceding further goals, while in attack, we tried to capitalize on one or two situations.

"Qatar is not what everyone expects, because today everyone plays football. It certainly won't be an easy match; we want to rest and prepare well. It will be a tough game. We will have to get over today's loss. The bad thing is that goal difference might be important in the end," concluded the veteran.
