Bosnia-Herzgovina striker, Edin Dzeko, has expressed his pain as his country crashed out of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil vowing never to forget his disallowed goal against Nigeria.

Dzeko had been incorrectly adjudged to be offside in the game Nigeria eventually won 1-0 through an Osaze Odemwinge first half strike.

Bosina completed their group match with a 3-1 routing of Iran with goals from Dzeko, Miralem Pjanic and Avdija Vrsajevic and Iran's consolation goal came from a Reza Ghoochannejhad tap-in.

"Despite the victory, we go home sad as we could've gone further.

"The goal they cancelled out against Nigeria I will remember until the end of my life."

Safet Susic's men were disappointed that they could not progress and midfielder, Pjanic, voiced their emotions.

"I'm glad I scored at the World Cup, but I am sorry that we did not achieve what we wanted.

"If we had a bit more luck we could have got out of the group. We gave our best and it was a great experience for us. In the second game we did not work hard, but we have to look forward."
