Bosnia’s striker, Edin Dzeko, scored twice as Manchester City thrashed rivals, Manchester United, 3-0 at Old Trafford.
Dzeko needed just 44 seconds to get on the scoresheet when he reacted quickest after Samir Nasri’s effort came back off the post – the fastest goal at the Theatre of Dreams by an opposition player in the Premier League era.
The Bosnian doubled the lead on 56 minutes with an excellent volley from Nasri’s corner, before Yaya Toure completed the rout in injury time.
The victory moves City above Liverpool into second and three points off leaders, Chelsea, but Manuel Pellegrini’s men have two games in hand.
United remain seventh, five points behind Tottenham.
Super Eagles will keep a date with Bosnia in their second group game at Brazil 2014 World Cup.
