Ghanaian born Mohammed Muntari Makes History As He Scores Qatar’s 1st Ever World Cup Goal

Ghanaian-born striker Mohammed Muntari has made history as the first footballer to score a FIFA World goal for Qatar.

The Kumasi-born footballer came from the bench today to give Qatar some hope in their 3-1 loss to Senegal.

When Qatar was losing 2-0, he came on in the 74th minute and scored to make it 2-1 in the 78th minute before Dieng made it 3-1 for Senegal.

Mohammed Muntari’s goal is the first-ever goal for Qatar in the history of the FIFA World Cup.

The 28-year-old striker was born in Sabon Zango, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.

Muntari started his career in the Golden Lions Soccer Academy, owned by former Ghanaian international Nii Lamptey. He joined El Jaish in 2012.

In July 2015, he signed a five-year deal with Lekhwiya.
