Qatar celebrated long into the night after claiming the first World Cup point in the nation's history, thanks to a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser against Switzerland in San Francisco.
Miro Muheim inadvertently headed into his own net in the 94th minute under pressure from Qatar's Boualem Khoukhi, rescuing a point for Al-Annabi, who weathered sustained Swiss pressure throughout much of the match.
