The first meeting between the two nations came in Sarajevo on 14 August 2013 and produced one of the most entertaining friendlies of the year. Jozy Altidore starred for the United States, scoring a superb hat-trick, while Eddie Johnson added another to give the visitors a memorable 4-3 victory. Bosnia and Herzegovina fought until the very end through goals from Edin Džeko, Vedad Ibišević and Emir Spahić, but the Americans held on to claim victory in a seven-goal thriller.

Despite creating several opportunities, neither side could find the breakthrough, resulting in the only draw in the history of the fixture.
