After the loss in the opening round of the World Cup, the host Qatar team currently has only one goal - to get a point in the biggest tournament in the world, and in front of the home crowd.
Today (Friday) against the Senegal team, she failed again when she lost 3:1, but at least she was honored with the first goal in her history in the world tournament, and maybe against the Netherlands in the last round she will fulfill another dream.
Although they lost to Orange in the opening round, the Senegalese team came into the game as a clear favorite, when the level differences were clear from the start of the game.
It did take the Africans quite a bit of time, but in the 41st minute the striker Boulaya Dia broke through the dam - and scored Senegal's first of the game.

The second half started exactly as the first ended, and in the 48th minute Famara Didio doubled the advantage of the Senegalese who went up to a promising 2:0.
The host team really did not want to disappoint the tens of thousands of spectators who came to watch them at the Al Thomamah Stadium, and did everything in their power to score the first goal in the World Cup in their history.
In the 78th minute, the big moment came.
Mohammed Muntari, the striker of the A-Dohail team from the local league scored, and raised all the Qatari fans in the stands.
For a moment it seemed that the Qataris were really able to get back into the game and equalize, but in the 84th minute Bamba Diang received a perfect cross from Mandayei and scored the third that closed the story.
