The Qataris, unbeaten so far, topped their group with three wins over Cuba, Switzerland and Austria, all in straight sets.
Their triumph against Brazil marked their fourth consecutive victory in the tournament.
Known for their sharp attacking play and solid blocking, Younes and Tijan will face France's Rotar and Gaauthier on Thursday for a spot in the quarter-finals.
