Oman 0-0 Qatar LIVE Score, FIFA World Cup AFC Qualifiers: Home Side Look For Early Win

The match is becoming increasingly cagey. Al-Manai becomes the first player to be booked as the winger clatters into the back of Al-Yahmadi, sending the Omani number 10 down on the pitch. He receives some attention from the phyios but is okay to continue.

The opening 15 minutes have been dominated by Qatar, who have almost 90% of the ball as well as three shots, though none on target. However, for all their dominance, Omani goalkeeper Al-Mukhaini is yet to be under any sort of trouble.

A very lively start to this match from both sides. Belgium-born Edmilson Junior is proving to be a thorn in Oman's side with his pace, but their forwards, especially Al Sabhi, are looking threatening with their high press. It is gearing up to be a perfect opener.

The anthems are sung, hands are shaken, and formations taken. The referee blows his whistle, and Oman kick off in search of their maiden World Cup appearance, but they are up against a mighty Qatar side. Who will prevail? Stay tuned!

The referee for tongiht's match is Japan's Yusuke Araki. The 39-year-old is one of the best referees in AFC, and has already officiated three club-level matches this season - two in the Qatar Stars League and one in the AFC Champions League Elite.

In those three matches, he brandished 11 yellow cards and one penalty kick - but no red cards.
