It's been a pleasure to catch this game with you. Here's Aditya Hosangadi, your commentator for the second half, signing off. Cheers, and enjoy a brilliant day of World Cup football!
Qatar are now on the brink of an early exit if the Dutch avoid defeat later today, but they can now hold their heads up high. After a tame performance against Ecuador, the hosts gave Senegal a proper run for their money.
For Qatar, Mohammed Muntari is on for Aziz.
Ismaila Sarr and Famara Diedhiou are replaced by Jonathan Bamba and Ndiaye for Senegal.
Qatar get the ball rolling and are attacking from left to right.
Senegal enjoyed a good start but weren't able to find the final product in the first half-hour. Boulaye Dia stepped up, however, and the AFCON champions now have a base to build from.
Senegal head into the break with a one-goal lead thanks to Dia's goal. The striker punished Qatar after Khoukhi's unfortunate slip inside the box. Qatar grew into the game but Koulibaly and Sabaly kept a tight ship at the back to maintain their clean sheet. Can the hosts dig deep to score their first-ever goal at the FIFA World Cup? Find out with us after we resume the live commentary in the second half.
Boulaye Dia is the fastest to react and finishes with a right-footed strike.
Senegal are the reigning African champions and lifted their maiden Africa Cup of Nations trophy last year.

Qatar (5-3-2): Meshaal Barsham(GK); Ismail Mohamad, Boualem Khoukhi, Abdelkarim Hassan, Pedro Miguel, Homam Ahmed; Hassan Al-Haydos, Karim Boudiaf, Assim Madibo; Akram Afif, Almoez Ali

Despite Qatar failing to record a single shot on target in the opening game of the competition against Ecuador, Almoez Ali and Akram Afif retain their places in the starting lineup.
Cheikhou Kouyate missed the game after being injured in the game against the Netherlands.
They are the reigning Africa Cup of Nations winners and will be looking to avoid an early exit from the competition.
Senegal also succumbed to a 2-0 defeat, but unlike Qatar, they showed some fight. Netherlands were only helped by the mistakes from Edouard Mendy in goal as they clinched the game away from Senegal late on in the second half.
As the games continue to come thick and fast, we now turn our attention to hosts Qatar as they prepare to host Senegal at the Al Thumama Stadium. Welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the game, we are inching closer towards kick-off!
