List of international goals scored by Edin Džeko
Edin Džeko, a Bosnian association footballer, made his debut for Bosnia and Herzegovina in a 3–2 win over Turkey on 2 June 2007.[1] He also scored his first international goal in the match to level the scores at 2–2 in stoppage time of the first half.[1][2] As of 10 October 2016, he has scored 49 goals in 82 international appearances, making him Bosnia and Herzegovina's leading goalscorer.[3]
On 8 September 2012, he scored his first international hat-trick in an 8–1 win over Liechtenstein in World Cup qualification. This brought him up to 24 international goals, surpassing the international record of 22 set by Elvir Bolić and Zvjezdan Misimović.[4] They are also the team that Džeko has scored more times against than any other, with six goals against them. More than half of Džeko's goals have come at home, having scored 19 at Bilino Polje Stadium in Zenica and 5 at Asim Ferhatović Hase Stadium in Sarajevo.
The majority of Džeko's goals have come in qualifying matches. He has scored 22 in World Cup qualifiers, including 9 during the 2010 World Cup qualification round where he finished as the second-equal top scorer, alongside England's Wayne Rooney and one behind Greece's Theofanis Gekas.[5] Džeko has also scored 13 times in European Championship qualifiers (including one in the 2016 play-offs). He has only scored once in the World Cup finals, in a 3–1 win against Iran in the 2014 tournament.[6] The remainder of Džeko's goals, 13, have come in friendlies.
