India vs Qatar Highlights, FIFA World Cup Qualifiers 2026: IND 1-2 QAT at Full Time - Qatar's Controversial Equaliser Mars' India's Exit

QAT vs IND Live Coverage ends

We fold our Live coverage on that note as India suffer a heartbreak in their bid to qualify for the third round of FIFA World Cup Qualifiers for the first time.

All attention now turns to the post-match press conference as Igor Stimac is expected to announce his resignation after falling short on his promise he made last January!

Follow all updates from that on MyKhel, for now good bye from this Live coverage!

Qatar vs India Live Score: Full Time!

The referee blows the full time whistle and heartbreak for India through a controversial goal, which certainly is going to be the focal point of discussion on social media!

As things stands, India are out of any chance of making it to the FIFA World Cup 2026! It's Qatar and Kuwait, who move to the third round, business as usual in Asia!

FIFA WC Qualifiers Live Updates: Yellow card

90+7' yellow card for Anwar Ali later in the game while Qatar have a late freekick in the game!

IND 1-2 QAT

IND vs QAT Live Score: IND 1-2 QAT

90+4' India cotinue to mount one attack after another in search of goal but they are just not finding that one-telling pass inside the box. Sahal Abdul Samad is playing a nice cameo late in the game to allow India openings in the game

IND 1-2 QAT

FIFA World Cup Qualifiers 2026 Live Score

90+2' And further demoralising news for India as Kuwait have scored against Afghanistan. This means India must win this game. They have seven minutes of added time to find two goals! Unlikely but not impossible

IND 1-2 QAT

KUW 1-0 AFG

India vs Qatar Live Updates: Shot Blocked!

90' Liston Colaco's shot blocked by a Qatar defence as he fails to line-up his shot earlier after a promising build-up!

Rahul Bheke sees yellow card right after as he fouls a Qatari forward to stop a counter attack.

India vs Qatar Live Score: Substitution

87' Double substitution by Stimac right after the goal as Nandha Kumar and Edmund Lalrindika come on for Jay Gupta and Chhange.

The goal effectively means India are out of the FIFA World Cup 2026 run as of now unless they find a goal in the remaining minutes

IND 1-2 QAT

QAT vs IND Live: GOAL!

85' GOOOALLL! Al-Rawi puts Qatar at front with a shot from outside the box while India were down to 10 men for few moments! Heartbreak for India after dominating the match for so long!

Qatar vs India Live Score: Big chance!

83' Big chance goes begging for India as Jay Gupta's shot is blocked by Qatar goalkeeper after the left-back ran all alone to the goal!

Oh, wait a minute! Jay Gupta tries to set up Colaco in front of the goal but the goalkeeper reads his move. The Indian defender is injured during the action and is out of the field for treatment

IND 1-1 QAT

KUW 0-0 AFG

FIFA WC Qualifiers Live Updates

81' It's one-way traffic at the moment with Qatar expressing themselves in the final third well but the Indian defense is back to killing spaces in the box!

IND 1-1 QAT

KUW 0-0 AFG

IND vs QAT Live Score: Crucial Interception by Anwar Ali!

78' While it's hard to focus after that unjustified equaliser by Qatar, the hosts are pushing harder for a winner. Their latest attack sees Anwar Ali makes a crucial interception to block a cross with a Qatari forward waiting for a tap-in at the far post!

Remember, India will still qualify for the next stage if they draw this match while the other match in Kuwait also ends a draw!

FIFA World Cup Qualifiers 2026 Live Score

75' Indian players protest to the match officials about the goal but the goal stands as we don't have VAR technology available for this game. That's really unfair for India!

IND 1-1 QAT

India vs Qatar Live Updates: GOALL!

73' GOAL! Qatar level! Aymen scores for Qatar but that's surely unfair as replays confirm the ball went out for a goalkick before Ibrahim Al-Hassan push the ball back in play!

IND 1-1 QAT

India vs Qatar Live Score: CLOSE OFFSIDE CALL!

72' Liston Colaco is caught offside by a toe while Sahal Abdul Samad's through ball was setting him up for the goal! A glorious chance goes begging for India as Liston fails to time his run!

QAT vs IND Live: Mehtab Singh shoots from distance!

69' Mehtab Singh shoots from a distance but the effort is collected by Qatari goalkeeper. While we like Mehtab making a positive attempt in a sporadic attack by India, we would love to see our centre-back defend as much as he can!

IND 1-0 QAT

Qatar vs India Live Score: IND 1-0 QAT

67' Most of the action is taking place in India's half at the moment but Qatar's attack looks disjointed and toothless at the moment while India defend in a formation of 5-4-1

FIFA WC Qualifiers Live Updates: KUW 0-0 AFG

66' The other match in Kuwait City is still goal-less. Remember, that match only comes into play if India start to draw this match. At this point, India are going to the next round

Kuwait 0-0 Afghanistan

Qatar vs India Live Score: Substitution

64' Igor Stimac makes double substitutions. Sahal Abdul Samad and Liston Colaco join in for Brandon and striker Rahim Ali. Expect Manvir Singh to play as the forward now

IND 1-0 QAT

IND vs QAT Live Score: Qatar dominate possession

62' India are happy to play in their own half already as Qatar are dominating possession. It's worth mentioning that Qatar are known to be a side who counter-attack well but are not so effective when it comes to ball possession

FIFA World Cup Qualifiers 2026 Live Score: Substitution

59' Qatar make their fourth change right before the hour mark while Qatar are growing dangerous in the attack as Gurpreet is getting called into action time and again to collect crosses!

IND 1-0 QAT

India vs Qatar Live Updates: YELLOW CARD!

58' Yellow card for Brandon Fernandes. First of the night for India as he takes one for the team by taking down Aymen, who was running rampant during a counter-attack!

The card comes right after Qatar miss a glorious chance off a corner when an acrobatic shot by Mohamed Gouda bumped off target!

India vs Qatar Live Score: Shot off target!

Apologies for the delay in the coverage due to a technical glitch. While we were away, Mehtab Singh made a crucial block off a shot by Al-Rawi while the second ball dangerously fell to Khalid Ali Sabah, who skied the shot over the crossbar. Meanwhile confirmation of remaining changes at the half time by Qatar

India vs Qatar Live Updates: Shot off target!

49' Substitute Homam Ahmed shoots wide from a tight angle on the left following a swift counter-attack by Qataris. Again, space looked a luxury in Indian box there!

India vs Qatar Live Score: IND 1-0 QAT

47' The second half starts with Qatar moving up the Indian defensive third early but the Blue Tigers are not offering much space at the back!

IND 1-0 QAT

QAT vs IND Live: Kick off!

46' The second half is underway!

Qatar vs India Live Score: 2nd half to begin

Qatar coach Tintin Marquez is making three changes at the break, including Homam Ahmed for Hazem Sehnata. Confirmation of the remaining two to follow.

The confirmation of the other two to follow...

FIFA WC Qualifiers Live Updates: India Qualification Scenario

For the unversed, India need to finish second in the group stages in order to reach the third round of FIFA World Cup Qualifiers for the first time.

While Igor Stimac already made the promise to take India there, it's all down to the next 45 minutes, where a win for India will seal the deal.

In case they draw this match, they will stare at the result from Afghanistan vs Kuwait match

IND vs QAT Live Score: India 1-0 Qatar at Half Time

No goals in Kuwait at Half Time. However, the result of that match will be inconsequential if India manage to pick all the three points from this game. Indian football is another 45 minutes away from history!

FIFA World Cup Qualifiers 2026 Live Score: India 1-0 Qatar at HT

The sentiments are running high on social media as the excitement is back again. I sincerely hope this is beginning of good days that we witnessed under Stimac last season. The Live points table is coming up next
