The Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium witnessed an exciting clash between these two teams, leaving football fans on the edge of their seats. India Vs Qatar is a very close contest and heartbreak for man in blue.

Controversial Decision:

Many argue that the referee’s decision robbed India of a historic opportunity to advance to the third round of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. Qatar won the match 2 – 1.

Indian fans expressed outrage on social media, calling it “daylight robbery” and demanding a rematch due to poor refereeing.

The match was played against the backdrop of Sunil Chhetri’s international retirement, and despite the controversy, India showcased resilience under coach Igor Stimac.
