DZEKO'S BRACE HELPS BOSNIA TO VICTORY OVER COTE D' IVOIRE

Edin Dzeko scored twice as Bosnia and Herzegovina began their World Cup preparations with a 2-1 win over the Cote d'Ivoire.
The Manchester City striker scored in the 17th and 53rd minutes to set his side on the way to victory with veteran forward Didier Drogba responding in stoppage time for the Africans."We knew they were going to be a powerful team with good pace and they showed that," goalkeeper Asmir Begovic said. "It was a good test for us to play against a good team and we enjoyed it."
The match was played in St. Louis -- the second time Bosnia-Herzogovina had played in the U.S. city in the last six months.
It's estimated more than 30,000 Bosnians relocated to St. Louis from the former war-torn Yugoslavia, and the games have provided an opportunity to display national pride.
