After dropping two straight games in Group A, the hosts of the 2022 Qatar World Cup were knocked out before the knockout rounds.
Following the Netherlands’ 1-1 draw with Ecuador, Qatar became the first nation to be eliminated from the competition.
Qatar’s hope to secure three points was dashed when Senegal thrashed them 3-1 in their second group game.
The host still have to fulfill their remaining game against Group A leader Netherlands on Tuesday at the Al Bayt Stadium.
BBC reported that Qatar made history by becoming the first country from the Middle East region to host the World Cup and now has the unwanted record of becoming just the second home team to exit the competition at the group stage, after South Africa in 2010.
