This comes as host nation Qatar was eliminated from the World Cup on Friday after a second straight 3-1 defeat against Senegal.

Qatar became the first team to be knocked out of this World Cup after the Netherlands and Ecuador drew 1-1 in the other Group A game.

The Asian champions had high hopes coming into the tournament but become only the second home team to crash out in the group stage, after South Africa in 2010.

Goals from Boulaye Dia, Famara Diedhiou, and Bamba Dieng were enough to give the African champions Senegal the win.

It is the first time the World Cup hosts have gone out after just two games.
