Thousands of Qatar supporters left the Al Bayt Stadium during the hosts' 2-0 defeat to Ecuador in their World Cup opener on Sunday.
Qatar fans are hoping their nation will stun the world by enjoying a sensational run at the tournament. World Cup ambassadors Tim Cahill and Samuel Eto'o have even backed them to progress from Group A and knock out England on their way to the quarter-finals.
Yet Felix Sanchez's team received a reality check on Sunday, when Ecuador eased to victory. Captain Enner Valencia found the net inside three minutes, although that goal was controversially disallowed for offside. Valencia then scored a brace to secure the points.
