NEW DELHI: Hosts Qatar are on brink of elimination from the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022 after suffering a 1-3 loss to Senegal in their second Group A match at the Al Thumama Stadium. The African team was far superior on the day and dominated the proceedings on Friday.
Substitute Mohammed Muntari scored Qatar's first ever World Cup goal late in the second half, but it turned out to be just a consolation for the home side. Senegal went into the halftime break with a 1-0 lead and doubled the advantage soon after the start of the second half. Boulaye Dia scored the first goal in the 41st minute, before Famara Diedhiou made it 2-0 for Senegal in the 48th minute.
