Host Qatar are mathematically out of the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup after they slumped to a 3-1 defeat against Senegal at the Al Thumama Stadium on Friday.
Boulaye Dia opened the scoring for Senegal shortly before half-time when he pounced on a mistake from the Qatar defence to coolly slot into the net. Famara Diedhiou then doubled the African team’s lead just three minutes into the second half when he rose to head in a corner.
Mohammed Muntari managed to pull one back for the tournament hosts after 78 minutes, but that goal was rendered irrelevant when Bamba Dieng added a third with a simple finish after Iliman Ndiaye had cut the ball back.The win gives Senegal a vital three points to put them in third place and sets them up for a vital showdown against Ecuador in the final game of the group stage.
