Full time: Bosnia 3-1 Qatar

Bosnia and Herzegovina win, but will have to wait and see if it's enough to go through as third-placed team. Qatar are out.

Goal probability

Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

26 %

Distance to Goal

The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

All or nothing

Qatar are throwing everything at this. They need two goals to turn things around and potentially go through in third.

Half-time: Bosnia 2-1 Qatar

Bosnia and Herzegovina took a deserved 2-0 lead, before Qatar halved the deficit with their first real attack and hit the post at the end of their second. Still all to play for at Seattle Stadium.

Not good news for Bosnia's goal difference, but a terrific response from the Gulf nation as captain Hassan Al-Haydos sweeps in Edmilson Junior's cut-back from close range.

As things stand

Qatar are heading out, unless they can turn this around. There's been little to suggest they will...

Breakthrough!

Kerim Alajbegović thunders Bosnia ahead to boost their chances of advancing as one of the eight best third-placed teams. The 18-year-old waltzes past a couple of Qatar players, before sending an unstoppable strike past the goalkeeper.

Hydration break

Bosnia continue to dictate the play, albeit without making serious in-roads in the final third. Qatar - dogged at the back - are set up to play on the break.

Roof of the net

Ivan Bašić is not far away as he drives one just over from 30 yards.

Elsewhere

It's still goalless between Canada and Switzerland in the group's other game. As things stand, they're going through as the top two.

Bosnia in charge

It's been one-way traffic early on in Seattle. Qatar are really struggling to keep up.

Chance!

Ivan Šunjić is denied by another flying save from Abunada. Bosnia mean business.

Bosnia straight on the attack

Ermedin Demirović with an early warning shot from outside the area, forcing Mahmud Abunada into a strong diving save.

Watch: Džeko's finest moments in Germany

He may be 40 years old, but Bosnia forward Edin Džeko still poses a significant threat in and around the penalty area. Take a closer look in his highlight reel!

What's at stake?

With the top two spots effectively out of reach in Group B, these two sides will fight it out to be one of the eight best third-placed nations. Bosnia are in a better position thanks to their -3 goal difference compared to Qatar's -6, but they may need to prevail by a couple of goals if they are to guarantee their place in the last 32.

Last time out: Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia, with Schalke's Edin Džeko among one of four Bundesliga or Bundesliga 2 players starting, held out for over 70 minutes against Switzerland before slipping to a 4-1 loss with a flurry of late goals and a sending off.

Last time out: Qatar

Qatar had a game to forget with a 6-0 defeat against co-hosts Canada, in which they had two players sent off. That leaves them on one point heading into this final group clash.
