Bosnia & Herzegovina dominated the match statistically, with 56% possession, 14 total shots (5 on target), and 443 accurate passes compared to Qatar’s 44% possession, 7 shots (1 on target), and 345 passes. The first half was decisive, with Bosnia scoring twice before halftime, including a crucial own goal by Qatar’s M. Abunada at 34’. This shifted momentum in Bosnia’s favor, though Qatar responded with a goal from H. Al Haydos at 42’ to make it 2-2. Bosnia’s resilience was evident in the second half, as they regained control through E. Mahmic’s 80’ goal, sealing a 3-1 victory. Tactical discipline from Bosnia’s midfield and defense, combined with clinical finishing, contrasted with Qatar’s inability to convert limited chances and their higher foul count (13 vs. 8). The own goal proved pivotal, as it disrupted Qatar’s structure and allowed Bosnia to maintain pressure.
