🧠 Match Summary

vs

Bosnia & Herzegovina secured a 3-1 victory over Qatar at Seattle to strengthen their position in Group B at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Kerim Alajbegovic opened the scoring in the 29th minute, but the match quickly became a rollercoaster as an Mahmoud Abunada own goal gave Qatar an equalizer at 34' before Hassan Al-Haydos put the Qataris ahead at 42'. Bosnia regained control with the greater share of possession at 55% and 14 shots to Qatar's nine, and Ermin Mahmic sealed the win with a decisive 80th-minute strike.

Qatar's 14 fouls and three offsides reflected the pressure they faced from a determined Bosnian side, while Jesus Valenzuela kept order with a yellow card shown to each team. Qatar's goalkeeper made three saves but ultimately could not prevent Bosnia & Herzegovina from claiming all three points in a thrilling contest.
