Bosnia-Herzegovina secured a 3-1 victory over Qatar in their final Group B match, significantly boosting their chances of reaching the World Cup knockout stage for the first time. An 18-year-old Kerim Alajbegovic and an own goal by Qatar’s goalkeeper contributed to Bosnia’s win, while Hassan al-Haydos scored Qatar’s lone goal. This result eliminates Qatar from the tournament, marking their second consecutive group stage exit. Bosnia now awaits the final group stage results to determine if they will advance as one of the best third-placed teams. The match saw early dominance from Bosnia, with several near misses before Alajbegovic’s stunning goal. Veteran Edin Dzeko, playing his 150th international match, played a key role in Bosnia’s second goal despite not scoring himself.
