ബോസ്​നിയയോടും തോറ്റു, ഖത്തര്‍ പുറത്ത്; കാനഡയെ തോല്‍പ്പിച്ച് സ്വിറ്റ്സര്‍ലന്‍ഡ് നോക്കൗട്ടില്‍

The Qatar national football team has been officially eliminated from the FIFA World Cup after failing to secure a single victory throughout their challenging group-stage campaign. In their final group fixture, the Asian nation suffered a definitive 3-1 defeat against Bosnia and Herzegovina, leaving fans disappointed as Malayali-origin player Tahsin Mohammed remained on the substitutes' bench without making his tournament debut. Bosnian captain Edin Dzeko celebrated his historic 150th international appearance by opening the scoring in the twenty-ninth minute before an unfortunate own goal doubled their lead. Although veteran playmaker Hassan Al-Haydos pulled one back for Qatar just before the halftime whistle, Bosnia held firm to put themselves on the verge of knockout qualification as one of the best third-placed teams. Meanwhile, in the same group's concurrent high-stakes clash, Switzerland displayed clinical precision to defeat Canada 2-1 in a closely contested encounter. Second-half goals from Ruben Vargas and Yohan Monzambi successfully sealed the top spot for the Swiss side as group champions, while Canada safely advanced into the Round of 16 as the group runners-up.
