Qatar earned its first World Cup point in its history after a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser secured a 1-1 draw against a disappointing Switzerland in their Group B clash at the ongoing FIFA 2026 World Cup on Saturday.

Switzerland appeared on course for victory in Santa Clara after Breel Embolo converted an early first-half penalty to give the Europeans the lead.

However, the Swiss were left stunned deep into injury time when defender Miro Muheim turned the ball into his own net under intense pressure from Qatar captain Boualem Khoukhi.
