Qatar have upped their game and injected more pace into their attacks.

Will they be able to sustain that?

Krepin Diatta is replaced by Pathe Ciss for Senegal.

What a lovely save from Mendy. Ali's strike was just sliding in.

Put your foot through it. Almoez Ali finally gets a sniff of goal for Qatar but his effort, which is sneaking towards the bottom left corner, is touched away by the diving Edouard Mendy.

Good save but if that shot had a smidgen more pace I'm not sure he'd have got there.

Hassan with a good strike form 25 yards out, that's not far away. Mendy was scurrying and he is not happy at all. The ball bobbled and Hassan caught it well.

That goes down as speculative but it's not that far away from Abdelkarim Hassan. The Qatar defender zings one from miles out. It just goes wide but it raises the decibel levels again.

Akram Afif, Qatar's most creative and exciting player so far has come so deep to try and get involved that he is now stood in the right-back position.

It's too easy for Senegal. They won't set the world alight but they do have some quality players in their side. No pressure on the ball from Qatar even though they are 2-0 down.

Senegal are stroking the ball around with ease now. Zero pressure on the ball.

Qatar's coach Felix Sanchezmight need to look at changing personnel or tactics or both, soon.

So of course they win a free-kick in a decent position and then only stick four or five men in the box with the whole Senegal team back to defend.

Qatar have no choice but to press higher up the pitch now.

It won't be easy, though, as they've been pinned back by Senegal from the first whistle.

Qatar have only had 19 final third entries compared to Senegal's 46.

Ismail Jakobs picks up a yellow card as well as an assitst. Looks like he caught Qatar's Ismaeel Mohammad with a flailing arm there.

Qatar have nothing else in their locker except getting the ball long and having a go.

A great ball in, but made even better by the run from Diedhiou.

He gets across his man at the near post and flicks it into the corner.

A terrible start to the second half for Qatar.

Dion Dublin
Former England striker on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ One

That's a very good header from Diedhiou. It's a really difficult skill if you're going beyond the near post. He just bent his right shoulder and guided it off his head into the far corner.

There is pace on the ball and direction on the header. The whole bench is celebrating, they kind of know they are going through.

Good run forward by Ismaila Sarr down the right wins Senegal a corner as Abdelkarim Hassan gets across on the cover.

The teams are back out. No changes for either at the break as we get under way again.

Sunset fell just before half-time in Doha which means it's time for Maghrib prayers.

The room at Al Thumama was jam packed at the interval, no space to get in.

You can clearly see that Qatar have worked on being more defensively organised but it's when they get possession, they don't really know what to do with it. Then they are working off the cuff and hoping Afif does something.
