According to Uefa.com

Torino forward Belotti spurned two early opportunities but made no mistake after 22 minutes, at full stretch to power Lorenzo Insigne's pinpoint cross into the far corner.

The hosts' best chance fell to Smail Prevljak 15 minutes later, but he could only fire an effort against the legs of Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The lively Insigne almost doubled the lead just before the break, but his curling effort brushed the outside of the post.

Berardi's excellent finish midway through the second half, after good work from Sassuolo club-mate Manuel Locatelli, capped a fine evening for the Azzurri, who clinched their place at October's finals.

There was nearly time for a third but it was not to be, as Federico Bernardeschi's late effort cannoned off the crossbar.

Bosnia and Herzegovina Head Coach Dušan Bajevic said he's to "blame" for Our Boys' home fall as he thanks his players for their "attitude and behaviour".

"We tried, we failed. You don't need to blame anyone but me. I'm proud to have been the head coach of the national team, and want to thank the players for their attitude and behaviour."

"We're through! We played well and remained focused, securing a result that we wanted and deserved. Not forgetting those who weren't there today and our newcomers. We've all contributed to two wonderful years. Thank you to the staff and everyone. Extraordinary!!!"#VivoAzzurro https://t.co/sr5qbxrInx

"I think the lads have given a great gift to Mancini. He is surely very happy now. Belgium, France, Spain: we look forward to facing the best teams in Europe in the finals, to seeing what level we have reached. We believe we are getting close to them. Let's see if it's true."
