    Reasoning

    Faithfulness is good (all facts accurate), title mention passes, but the summary omits the significant detail about him being benched for the opening match and his status as all-time leading scorer, reducing its usefulness despite meeting the 29-word target.

    Reasoning

    The explanation contains a critical invented fact: it claims Bosnia and Herzegovina is making 'their first-ever appearance at the tournament' at the 2026 World Cup, but the search results provide no evidence of this and actually contradict it by referencing Džeko's 2007 debut for Bosnia, implying prior World Cup participation; additionally, the claim that Džeko was 'benched' for the opening match is unsupported—the search results only state he 'isn't playing' and Bosnia made a 'surprise' decision, without confirming he was benched rather than rested or unavailable.
