Football: Qatar shake up Copa with exciting comeback against Paraguay
- 5 years ago
Qatar battled their way once again from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Paraguay in their first ever Copa America game on Sunday, demonstrating they will be no weaklings in the tournament by pulling off an exciting recovery at a close unfilled Maracana arena.
The 2022 World Cup hosts are one of 2 guest teams at the South American title alongside Japan. Be that as it may, their introduction got off to a nightmare begin when Paraguay's Oscar Cardozo crushed in from the penalty spot in the fourth moment.
Qatar caused their opponents a lot of issues yet after Cardozo had another strike discounted after a VAR-audit, the Asian Cup champions yielded again when Derlis Gonzalez scored from the get-go in the second half with a long-run rocket.
Striker Almoez Ali presented appropriate reparations in light of spurning a previous sitter by maneuvering his side once more into the game with a distance strike which circled into the net in the 68th moment. After nine minutes, Boualem Khoukhi leveled with a sketchy completion. (Detailing by Richard Martin Editing by Christian Radnedge)
