Qatar secured their first ever World Cup point as Boualem Khoukhi scored a dramatic stoppage‑time header to snatch a 1‑1 draw with Switzerland in Group B. Breel Embolo had given Switzerland the lead from the penalty spot in the 17th minute.
Despite amassing 26 shots and an xG of 3.24, Switzerland were punished for a lacklustre performance as Khoukhi powered home Homam Ahmed’s cross deep into added time. Canada earlier drew 1‑1 with Bosnia‑Herzegovina in the group’s opener.
Key Points:
Qatar’s first World Cup point is a historic milestone for the hosts of the 2022 tournament.
Switzerland’s wasteful finishing may prove costly in a tight group.
The late equaliser could boost Qatar’s confidence for the remaining matches.
Switzerland’s dark horse tag now looks uncertain after a casual performance.
The result opens up Group B, with all four teams still able to advance.
Switzerland must improve its finishing, while Qatar will aim to build on this historic result in their next group match.
