QATSEN Qatar risk exiting the World Cup without winning a single game.
Mohammed Muntari scored Qatar’s first World Cup goal as the host nation went down fighting against the African champions.
Senegal, who lost 2-0 to the Netherlands in their opening match, were first to threaten through Watford forward Ismaila Sarr before Qatar’s Akram Afif volleyed the hosts’ first chance high over the crossbar.Qatar lifted the home support in the 34th minute when Afif burst into the box in a rare foray forward and the hosts were controversially denied a 34th-minute penalty when he went tumbling under Sarr’s clumsy challenge.
Ismail Jakobs sent over an inswinging corner and Diedhiou easily escaped his marker to head home at the near post.
