Switzerland took the lead in the 17th minute with a goal by Breel Embola from the penalty spot, and Qatar equalized in the 95th minute with a goal by Boualem Khoukhi.
This is Qatar’s historic first point at the World Championships.
Switzerland dominated throughout the game and recorded a large number of misses and missed opportunities. Qatar mostly defended, only occasionally threatening on the counterattack.
When it seemed that Switzerland would take a minimal victory after all, a shock followed.
The fifth minute of stoppage time was played, when after Al-Amin’s cross from the left wing, Khoukhi beat Kobel with his head from a few meters for the final 1:1.
The goal for 1:1 caused a great celebration of the Qatari footballers and fans…
Switzerland – Bosnia and Herzegovina and Canada – Qatar will compete in the 2nd round.
