RIYADH: It did not look like it for 94 minutes, but Qatar managed to secure a valuable and historic point against Switzerland to blow Group B at the 2026 FIFA World Cup wide open. It might not have been the showing Qatari fans desired after their disappointing campaign at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, but a late equalizer from veteran Boualem Khouki sealed a 1-1 draw against the group’s heavyweights. The Maroons spent most of the encounter on the back foot as Murat Yakin’s launched wave after wave of attacks on the Qatari goal, racking up 26 attempts throughout the game.
