Qatar's main man between the sticks had an absolute shocker of a day and was criticized after a blunderous first half.
The Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup got underway when Qatar locked horns with Ecuador at the Al Bayt Stadium in a Group A clash. Ecuador put on a clinical performance in the World Cup opener, with Enner Valencia scoring a stunning brace.
The former West Ham striker was breathing fire in the first 35 minutes of the game, scoring twice while the home team looked absolutely helpless in all facets of the game. Ecuador scored within the first few minutes when Ecuador’s record goalscorer put it past the net after a goalkeeping error but was ruled offside via VAR.

Qatar had a shocking day at the office as they were caught cold-footed by a raging Ecuador side who seemed to have all bases covered, and Gustavo Alfaro’s men showed no mercy to the host nation as they completely dominated the game.
Ecuador were a strong side on paper and were expected to take all three points, but that was no reason for the home side not to turn up at the Al Bayt. Ecuador had six shots with 85% accurate passes and three shots on target. Gustavo’s men now lead Group A with three points and a +2 goal difference and will be a tough code to crack for Senegal and the Netherlands.
Qatar’s man between the sticks had an absolute shocker of a day and was chastised after a blunderous first half in which he neglected and misinterpreted passes and catches. Qatar now faces a difficult task in advancing to the next round of the competition, with only two games remaining against two group favourites, Senegal and the Netherlands.
