International career

He has made his first appearance for the senior Qatar national football team in a friendly match against Slovenia on March 3, 2010.[2] He scored his first goal in a friendly against Russia in the 4th minute, and also gave his team an early lead in the 6th minute against Vietnam.

Kasola gained nationwide eminence for scoring a late equalizer in the 86th minute against Iran in the third round of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.[3] Qatar, entering the match with a 9-goal advantage over Bahrain, who were 3 points behind them, were trailing 2–1 in the second half of the match held in Iran. Meanwhile, Bahrain, who were beating Indonesia 10–0 in a home match in very controversial circumstances,[4] looked to go through to the next round until Kasola's goal saved Qatar from elimination. Similarly, there was some controversy over Kasola's goal,[5] but it was not pursued by FIFA. As a reward for scoring the goal, Kasola received an Arabian camel.[6]
