Teenager Kerim Alajbegovic’s stunning strike set Bosnia and Herzegovina on their way to a 3-1 Group B win over Qatar which leaves them on course to reach the knock-out phase of the World Cup for the first time in their history.
Alajbegovic fired Bosnia in front in the 29th minute and Salman Al-Brake’s own goal soon doubled the advantage. Assan Al-Haydos pulled one back before the break but substitute Ermin Mahmic struck to seal a victory which puts Bosnia in a strong position to advance as one of the best third-placed teams.
