WHAT HAPPENED? Muntari scored a fine header in the 71st minute to pull one back for his team and hence became the first player for Qatar to score in a World Cup. He escaped Kalidou Koulibaly and got his head to a cross from the right.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Muntari’s effort was too little too late as Qatar succumbed to a 3-1 defeat to Senegal.

WHAT NEXT FOR QATAR? Qatar are staring at an early exit from the tournament unless Ecuador beat the Netherlands. If they do so, the Maroons will take on the Dutch on Tuesday needing to get the better of Louis van Gaal’s men to secure a knockout berth.
