Doha: A controversial goal marred India’s final group encounter against Qatar in the 2026 FIFA World Cup AFC Qualifiers as the Sunil Chhetri-less Blue Tigers lost 1-2 at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in Doha on Tuesday. Lallianzuala Chhangte gave India the lead on 37 minutes. The controversy arose during Qatar’s equalizer in the 73rd minute.
After the ball went out of the play, Qatar defender Hashmi Al Hussain pulled the ball from outside before Yousef Aymen pushed the ball inside the goal. Ahmed Al-Rawi scored the winner five minutes from time to win the game for Qatar. Unfortunately, the referee continued with the game, thus drawing severe backlash from all quarters.
Poor refereeing and Kuwait’s 1-0 win against Afghanistan in another Group A game, robbed India of a chance to secure a historic entry into the third round of Qualifiers. While Qatar had already qualified for the third round, Kuwait joined Asian champions in the next round.
