Edin Dzeko has hit out at the referee that wrongly disallowed his first half strike as offside. Bosnia & Herzegovina were robbed of the first goal of the game after 21 minutes when Dzeko timed his run to perfection to convert a clever through pass by Miralem Pjanic. But referee Peter O'Leary, from New Zealand, ruled the goal out after seeing his linesman's flag signal the Man City forward as offside. And, according to the Guardian, Dzeko was enraged with the decision after his side were eliminated from the tournament. Dismay: Edin Dzeko saw a fair goal disallowed for offside against Nigeria
