Qatar Concedes Two Own Goals in 2026 World Cup; Bosnia Beats Qatar 3-1PreviousNext

In the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Qatar became the third team to score two own goals in a single tournament, joining Bulgaria (1966) and Russia (2018), and the first Asian team with this record. Qatar lost 1-3 to Bosnia and Herzegovina in their final Group B match, finishing last without a win. Bosnia secured their first World Cup win in 12 years but awaited confirmation on advancing to the knockout stage as one of the best third-placed teams.
