Bosnia-Herzegovina<\/a> have given themselves a big chance of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup<\/a> knockout stages thanks to their 3-1 win over Qatar<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dragons won’t find out their fate until later in the round, but it would take a lot for them to miss out as one of the best third-placed sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were well worth their victory over Qatar, who went into this final Group B game in the same position. Bosnia-Herzegovina attacked from the off and finally got the breakthrough just before the half-hour mark thanks to Kerim Alajbegovic’s wonderful strike. The lead was doubled shortly after by an own goal from Sultan Al Brake, deflecting Edin Dzeko’s attempted pass into his net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qatar pulled a goal back just before half-time, with Hassan Al Haydos tapping in to complete a good attacking move. But Bosnia-Herzegovina’s win was sealed late on thanks to Ermin Mahmic’s second goal in as many games.<\/p>\n\n\n
