The Qatar World Cup 2022 began this Sunday, and as has been done since 2006, the opening match of the event is from the host country, which for this opportunity was measured with Ecuador and lost with a final of 0-2.
This commitment was made in Al Bayt Stadium, same that received more than 60 thousand fans who were not only from the local country or Ecuadorians, but all those who also went to enjoy the inaugural event, so you could actually see the stage with most of its stands full.
Beyond how beautiful the crowded stadium looked, there was an event that drew a lot of attention from all the attendees, who witnessed that at a time of the commitment the stands were being vacated and everyone leaving was Qatari.
According to various reports, when the first part of the match ended, and that the hosts were already losing 0-2, the fans of that country made the decision to leave because they did not want to spend more ’embarrassment’ of a result that was also being historic.
In several photos that could be seen through social networks, it is evident that little by little the areas were left alone where the local fans were, so that fact quickly went around the world.
Ecuador made history by defeating Qatar
The format of this world cup has been shaped like this since 2006, that is, since this orbital event that was held in Germany, the first match of each edition has always been the host country and some rival from the same group.
Now, what was really historic is that Qatar lost and Ecuador became the first country to defeat the host country in the opening match, a fact that surely had a great impact on the fans leaving the stadium long before the match ended.
