Bosnia boost last-32 hopes after win over Qatar

Bosnia and Herzegovina secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Qatar on November 25, 2022, significantly enhancing their prospects of advancing to the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first time in their history. This win marked their final Group B match, concluding their tournament campaign with a positive result. The sole goal of the match was scored by Alen Halilović in the 85th minute, a decisive strike that secured the three points for the Bosnian team. The victory, however, was not enough to see them progress, as they finished third in Group B with 4 points, behind Senegal and Netherlands. Qatar, having lost all three of their group matches, finished at the bottom of the group without any points, marking a disappointing debut on home soil. This result concluded Bosnia and Herzegovina's participation in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
