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.

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.
