Productive in Wednesday's loss
Afif recorded two shots (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Analysis: Afif made his third consecutive start Wednesday, this time putting in his best performance. He led the team with six crosses and two chances created, also taking two shots in the second half to keep the pressure on Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was a solid outing for the forward as he looked like Qatar's most threatening attacker, especially in the second half. He finishes his World Cup without a goal contribution and with two shots, four chances created and 11 crosses across 239 minutes of action.
Subbed off on Thursday
Afif generated one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Thursday's 6-0 defeat against Canada.
Analysis: Afif entered the match as Qatar's primary creative threat but was largely isolated by Canada's defensive structure and the numerical disadvantage that followed the red card. He finished without a shot or chance created, winning just one of four duels and failing to complete a dribble. Interestingly, one of his most notable contributions came defensively, recording a goal-line clearance that temporarily prevented further damage. He had to be subbed off for Al Hashmi Al Hussain Mohi Aldin following the red card.
