Deniz Undav continued his scorin𝔉g streak for the national side, with his brace enough to see Germany over the line despite Edin Dzeko halving the deficit in the 70th minute.
Nagelsmann's side sit top of Group A3 after three games ahead of facing the Netherlands on Monday, a side th🌞ey drew 2-2 with last month.
But the Germany 𒈔head coach wants to see an improvement in front of goal after dominating for large parts at th🧸e Stadion Bilino Polje against Bosnia.
The visito💜rs ended the contest with an expected goals (xG) total of 1.81 from their 12 shots, eight of which we🐼re on target, while also creating five big chances.
ಞGermany also finished the game with 73.1% possession, though Nagelsmann said hi꧟s players must find their clinical edge when they face the Netherlands.
"We❀ didn't start so well and kept the ball on one side too much in the first ten minutes," Nagelsmann said.&nbs✱p;
"When we adjus♑ted that, it was good and we were dominant. Given our superiority, we could have scored more goals.
"Regarding the goal we conceded, Edin Dzeko shouldn't have been that free inꦰside the box. But the team kept control after that. We didn't want to take many risks."
Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz echoed Nagelsmann's thoughts, acknowl♍edging𒐪 his side's wastefulness in front of goal.
Wirไtz impressed on Friday, creating more chances (four), playing more pass🐼es into the final third (36) and having more touches in the opposition box (six) than any of his team-mates.
"I think we made 💮it difficult for ourselves. We could have won by a bigger margin," Wirtz said.
"Against the Netherla♚nds we e🐻xpect long balls to the striker.
"Bosnia did som♑ething similar today, but of course it will b𒆙e even more difficult on Monday.
"The quality of the Dutch team is even higher."
