It is all over at Doha. Qatar wins 2-1 against India and the Blue Tigers’ journey to reach the third round of FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers comes to a controversial end.
There is no doubt that India was a victim of poor refereeing after Qatar controversially got its equaliser. It remains to be seen how India protests against the poor decision. But as of now, it is the end of the road for Igor Stimac and his men.Â
India, with the loss, also fails to get automatic qualification to the AFC Asian Cup 2027.
