Qatar sit fourth in Group B with a single point from two matches.
Their defensive frailty was exposed in the 6-0 loss to Canada, a game that saw them finish with nine men after two red cards and underscored a season average of just 0.5 goals scored while conceding 3.5 per match, highlighting a need for greater attacking impetus.
Going forward, Qatar must claim a win to keep any chance of progressing beyond the group stage.
