Qatar’s last group game against the Netherlands will be a mere formality for the hosts as they can never qualify for the next round.
The host lost their opening match to Ecuador and their second match to Senegal. If they eventually win their last match it will only amount to three points while Netherlands and Ecuador already have four points after they settled their encounter 1-1.
Cody Gakpo scored the fastest goal of this World Cup so far, when he put the Orange Gang in front just after five minutes.
Enner Valencia scored his third goal of the World Cup when he equalised four minutes into the second half.
Senegal will have to defeat Ecuador to qualify for the knockout stage.
In group B, Wales lost to Iran by 2-0 thereby reducing their chances of qualifying for the knockout stage.
While a last round victory guarantees Iran a place in the knockout stage, same cannot be said of Wales, who have only one point.
