    SUI - CAN
    Who will take first place? Canada have the draw.

    BOS - QAT
    Effectively an elimination match, with a draw eliminating both.

    Tchau!

    Al-Brake should have stepped on the brake badumtsss

    D++eko also hit the post, but Bosnia got careless in
    the back, and so Qatar are somehow still in it.

    No luck. Qatar fails to clear its lines after a corner kick, and
    Mahmic pounces to make it 3-1 Bosnia.
