Bosnia-Herzegovina significantly boosted their chances of reaching the knockout stage of the 2026 World Cup with a 3-1 victory over Qatar in Seattle. This win places them in a strong position to qualify as one of the best third-place teams. Switzerland and Canada have already secured qualification from Group B with seven and four points respectively. Bosnia also has four points, but currently trails Canada on goal difference. Qatar has been eliminated from the tournament after failing to secure a win in their group matches, including a draw against Switzerland and a heavy defeat to Canada. Veteran Edin Dzeko, playing in his 150th international match, played a key role in the victory, contributing to a Qatar own goal.
