One shot in Wednesday's loss
Ali recorded one shot (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-1 loss against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Analysis: Despite leading all players in Asian qualifying for the World Cup and starting all three matches at the 2022 edition, Ali made his first appearance of the World Cup in the team's final group stage match. He replaced Karim Boudiaf in the 72nd minute with hopes of pulling off a comeback. He only had one real chance in the match with a header in the 94th minute, but Nikola Vasilj collected it to seal up the victory. It was a disappointing competition for Ali considering what he'd done to get to this point, but at least he got to make an appearance Wednesday.
Top scorer in Asian qualifiers
Ali will most likely be chosen as Qatar's center-forward for most games of the upcoming international competition following his solid qualifying run.
Analysis: Ali heads into the World Cup with considerable momentum after leading all players in Asian qualifying with 12 goals. The veteran striker remains Qatar's most natural finisher and should continue to occupy the central role in attack. While he does not contribute as much creatively as some teammates, his ability to convert chances makes him one of the squad's most important players. A large percentage of Qatar's expected goals should flow through him. That role gives him one of the highest fantasy ceilings on the team despite a relatively goal-dependent profile.
