Their tournament
how their World Cup unfoldedQatar's group stage exit arrived with little ceremony — a 1-3 defeat to Bosnia & Herzegovina in which they trailed by two goals before half-time, Al-Haydos pulling one back on the stroke of the interval before Mahmic's 80th-minute strike killed any lingering hope of a comeback. The hosts finished bottom of Group B with a single point and a goal difference of minus eight, their tournament a sobering exercise in the gap between ambition and execution at this level.
