Qatar vs India LIVE score, IND 0-0 QAT, FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifier updates: Manvir, Chhangte fail to convert a golden opportunity

Manvir is one-on-one with Ellethy and has an excellent opportunity to bury the ball at the back of the net. Manvir goes for a low shot, but the Qatar keeper saves it. The rebound falls to Chhangte, who tries to shoot at goal but an excellent tackle takes the ball away from him. 

Alrawi comes one-on-one with Bheke. The Qatar No. 10 looks to get the better of Bheke with the help of some trickery but Bheke goes for some no-nonsense defending to snatch the ball from Alrawi and thwart the Qatari attack. 

Chhangte is fouled and India has a freekick in a good position. Brandon will take it and will look for a good delivery. 

Brandon delivers - it is a decent cross, which is dealt by the Qatar backline. 

Rahim Ali does well to get past his marker on the left and cross low across the face of the goal. It is an excellent delivery but there isn’t any Indian player to attack the cross. 

Suresh Singh Wangjam has a great chance after Qatar loses the ball the back after an Indian press. However, the flag eventually goes up for offside. 

There is a loose ball and Jay Gupta almost outruns Gouda to get to it. However, to Elliethy’s credit, he plays the role of a sweeper keeper perfectly and comes out to clear the ball to safety. 

The Indians cannot seem to have a decent spell of possession - Qatar’s pressing has been top-notch till now. 

Alrawi is through on goal and he shoots hard and low, aiming for the far-corner. However, he cannot hit the target from a tight angle. Gurpreet had dived and by the looks of it, had his goal covered. 

Alhasan gets the ball in the final third and has plenty of time on the ball after not being closed down by the Indian players. He spots Shehata’s run inside the box and tries to find him with a lob. However, Gurpreet does well to anticipate the danger and comes off his line to collect the ball. 

CHANCE- Gouda has an excellent first touch to collect the ball on the right flank. Jay Gupta tries to close him down but the Qatar No. 7 manages to brush him aside and make his way inside the box. He spots Alrawi in the middle and finds him with the cutback. Alrawi goes for a first-time shot but Mehtab Singh puts his body on the line and makes an excellent goal-saving block.

Qatar looks to penetrate as a cross comes in from the left flank but Gurpreet times his jump to perfection and collect the ball and thwart any possible danger. 

Alrawi finds himself with time and space and goes for a shot from outside the box. But the effort is nowhere near hitting the target and the ball goes out of play. 

India is yet to make any penetration inside the final third. The Blue Tigers have found it difficult to keep possession, especially in midfield and will look to have longer spells with the ball. 

Jay Gupta does well to keep pressure on the left touchline and he gets the ball. He passes early, intending to find Rahim Ali. However, the pass is overhit and Qatar keeper Ellethy comes out to collect the ball. 

SAVE - The corner kick is delivered at the near post and Mohialdin flicks the ball towards goal. He catches the flick well but captain Gurpreet does well to make the save. 

Qatar makes an early entry inside the Indian box but Rahul Bheke is alert enough to anticipate the danger and send the ball out for a corner. 

The FIFA World Cup 2026 second-round AFC qualifier between Qatar and India is underway at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium in Doha. 

The Blue Tigers need at least a draw to keep qualification hopes alive. This is India’s first match after Sunil Chhetri’s retirement. 

Ellethy (GK); Farhat, Gouda, Al Hadhrami; Mohialdin, Mohammadali, Al Ahrak, Irfan; Al Rawi, Al Ganehi

Four days ago, Sunil Chhetri left on his terms. On Tuesday, it could be Igor Stimac’s turn to leave, after putting his head on the block. But more importantly, India’s game against Qatar presents the last opportunity for it to make the third round of the World Cup qualifiers.

At the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Doha, against an under-strength host nation, it’s all-or-nothing for the Blue Tigers. 

India has only two scenarios left to ensure qualification: a win against Qatar or if both the remaining matches in Group A end as draws.
