Two crosses in Wednesday's loss

Khoukhi recorded one shot (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 3-1 loss against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Analysis: Khoukhi made his third consecutive start at this World Cup, once again occupying a space in central defense. It was another poor defensive performance from a team perspective as Khoukhi and his teammates conceded three goals, bringing their total up to 10 through three group stage matches. He finished the made with five clearances, two blocked shots and one tackle, doing his best to mitigate the damage inflicted by the Bosnia and Herzegovina attack. Given he is 36 years old and his nation were just eliminated from the competition, there is a good chance this was his final World Cup appearance.

Captains in defeat

Khoukhi recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Thursday's 6-0 loss versus Canada.

Analysis: Khoukhi produced Qatar's busiest defensive performance, registering 15 clearances, four blocks and two tackles. He repeatedly protected the penalty area as Canada generated wave after wave of attacks, particularly after Qatar were reduced to ten men and nine men subsequently. He was forced into last-ditch interventions as Canada's forwards relentlessly kept up their attack.
