قطر مقابل السالوادور

Qatar and El Salvador played out a tense 0-0 draw in an international friendly at BMO Stadium, Los Angeles, with the closest either team came to breaking the deadlock arriving in the 14th minute, an Issa Laye header that sailed agonisingly over the crossbar. Neither side could find a goal across ninety minutes. Styven Vasquez had El Salvador's best openings, going close twice, first in the 26th minute and again in the 31st, before picking up a yellow card in the 52nd. Ahmed Fathy was cautioned for Qatar midway through the first half, and the contest grew increasingly physical as both teams pressed for a winner that never came. With the 2026 World Cup just days away, both sides leave with mixed feelings. Qatar showed composure in possession but lacked a cutting edge in the final third, while El Salvador demonstrated the defensive organisation that could make them tricky opponents, though they will need more attacking sharpness when the stakes rise.
