Things to say
Bosnia-Herzegovina beat Qatar 3-1 at Lumen Field.
01
opener
Bosnia handled Qatar 3-1. They were the better side all match. Qatar grabbed one back but it was never really in doubt.
02
key player
Basic was all over it up top, four shots and a constant threat. Qatar had no answer for him.
03

Honestly 3-1 flattered Qatar. Could've been an absolute paddling if Bosnia took their chances.
04
deep cut
Kolasinac was quietly brilliant at the back, eight defensive interventions and just shut everything down.
05
exit
Anyway, Bosnia's got real momentum now. Curious to see who they draw next.
The recap
Bosnia-Herzegovina put Qatar to the sword at Lumen Field, running out 3-1 winners and never really looking troubled. Ivan Basic led the charge up top with four shots, while Sead Kolasinac was a rock at the back with eight defensive interventions, snuffing out anything Qatar tried to build.
Qatar grabbed a consolation to deny the clean sheet, but the keeper Mahmoud Abunada was the busier of the two, forced into three saves as Bosnia kept coming. A comfortable afternoon's work that bumps the Bosnians to 1-1-1 and leaves Qatar still searching for a win.
