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. 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, 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, but it was not pursued by FIFA. As a reward for scoring the goal, Kasola received an Arabian camel.
