Qatar anticipated this World Cup too much to the point that they have burdened themselves with unmanageable pressure and responsibility. And that was to be seen in their opener. Meanwhile, Senegal should call themselves lucky for having been denied a point in their first game, against the Dutch. 
The scores remained 0-0 almost till the end, and it was expected that both teams would settle for one point each. But in the 84th minute, with the first shot on target, the Dutch opened their account. Later they added one more, deep into the injury time to close out the game 2-0. 
Senegal also missed their talisman Sadio Mane, who was ruled out of the tournament, with just hours before the opening ceremony. 
They managed to have almost 15 shots at goal, but not one of them made into the nets. And this has surely put them under pressure to go after a win at any cost in this second match-up. 
And here they will have to take on the wounded hosts. 
Qataris flocked to the stadium to watch their team deliver a win in the opening game of the 2022 World Cup. But sadly that was not to happen. 
Ecuador produced a classic display of defense, and not even allowed the team into their box. In fact, the host nation could not even produce a single shot at target all through the ninety minutes. 
And now they have to take on the experienced and determined Senegal. Note that the Senegalese are the reigning African champions, and they are well-experienced in high-pressure situations like this. 
They had to secure qualification to the World Cup through penalties in the playoffs, and they also won the Cup of Nations through penalties. 
The rather inexperienced Qatar do not stand much chance this Friday, despite a whole continent cheering them on.

卡塔尔对本届世界杯的期待过于强烈，以至于他们给自己带来了难以承受的压力和责任。这在他们的揭幕战中得到了体现。与此同时，塞内加尔在首场对阵荷兰的比赛中被剥夺了一分，他们应该庆幸自己是幸运的。
比分几乎一直保持在0-0，直到比赛结束，人们都预计两队只能各得一分。但在第84分钟，随着第一脚射正，荷兰人打开了自己的大门。之后他们又进了一球，在伤停补时阶段将比赛以2-0结束。
塞内加尔也错过了他们的护身符萨迪奥·马内，他在开幕式前几个小时被排除在比赛之外。
他们几乎有15次射门，但没有一次进网。这无疑给他们带来了压力，他们要在第二场比赛中不惜一切代价赢得胜利。
在这里，他们将不得不对付受伤的东道主。
卡塔尔人涌入体育场观看他们的球队在2022年世界杯揭幕战中取得胜利。但遗憾的是，这并没有发生。
厄瓜多尔上演了一场经典的防守表演，甚至没有让球队进入自己的禁区。实际上，在90分钟的比赛中，东道主德国队连一球都没有射中。
现在他们必须面对经验丰富、意志坚定的塞内加尔。请注意，塞内加尔人是非洲卫冕冠军，他们在这种高压情况下经验丰富。
他们必须在季后赛中通过点球获得世界杯资格，他们也通过点球赢得了国家杯。
尽管整个大陆都在为他们加油，但毫无经验的卡塔尔队在本周五的比赛中胜算不大。
