At the capacity Grbavica Stadium in the capital city of Sarajevo, both teams played evenly in the first 30 minutes before Rade Krunic scored for the hosts in the 33rd minute.

Armenia attempted to score in the second half, but 31-year-old goalkeeper Ibrahim Sehic blocked all their three attempts. In the 67th minute, Deni Milosevic was on target just two minutes after his was substituted.

Armenia was awarded a penalty in the dying minutes as the ball hit Milosevic's hand. Henrikh Mkhitaryan converted the spot kick but it was all too late for the visitors.
