Ghanaian-born striker Muntari Mohammed scored to help 2022 World Cup host Qatar draw 1-1 against North Ireland in a friendly at the Nagyerdei Stadion in Debrecen.

James McClean gave North Ireland the lead which was later cancelled out by Mohammed Muntari's equalizer.

It was the second goal scored by the Ghanaian-born in the international friendlies for the Asian side.

Qatar, who have qualified automatically for the World Cup and must rely on friendly games to prepare for the tournament, have been included as a guest team in European World Cup qualifying Group A.

Qatar produced a spirited performance against Ireland to draw 1-1 in the European Zone FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifiers at the Nagyerdei Stadium in Debrecen, Hungary, on Tuesday.

The move mirrors the approach taken by France for the 2016 European Championship that they hosted. Qatar's matches will not count towards the qualification process and will be categorised as friendly internationals.

They will play against whichever team has a free date on a given matchday in Group A - which includes Portugal, Serbia, Azerbaijan, Luxembourg and Ireland.
