Few moments in sports are as special as when a nation scores its first ever goal at the World Cup finals. 

In their first-ever game at the tournament, Bosnia and Herzegovina have their first-ever goal. The circumstances weren't necessarily ideal - it's a late tally in a game Argentina was leading 2-0 and it did not change the outcome - but it's a moment the nation's fans won't forget nonetheless. 

Substitute Vedad Ibišević is the man to record his name in history. He deftly slipped the ball past Argentine keeper Sergio Romero and it rolled across the line.
