Qatari player Assim Madibo was suspended for five matches due to the violent tackle that led to player Ismail Kone breaking his leg during the match between Qatar and Canada. The incident occurred in the second half when Qatar was trailing 3-0, as Madibo made a heavy tackle on Kone, seriously injuring him. The severity of the injury led to Madibo being immediately sent off with a red card. Thus, Madibo will not be able to participate with his team until the final of the tournament if Qatar qualifies. However, the Qatari team was eliminated from the tournament after losing to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Following the incident, Madibo visited Kone in hospital, with the Qatar Football Association expressing that the visit reflected "the spirit of fair play and strong relationships on and off the field". For his part, Kone encouraged his teammates from a wheelchair during the match.
