FIFA World Cup: Four-time champion Italy have failed to qualify for a third consecutive FIFA World Cup after losing to Bosnia and Herzegovina in a dramatic playoff decided by penalties.

The match, held in Zenica, ended 1-1 after extra time before Bosnia triumphed 4-1 in the shootout, securing its first World Cup appearance since 2014.

"We still can't believe it," said Italy defender Leonardo Spinazzola. "It's upsetting for everyone."
