🧠 Match Summary

vs

Switzerland dominated from the first whistle in Santa Clara, controlling 68% of the ball and peppering the Qatar goal with 26 shots, but the tournament hosts' resolute defending kept them in the contest. Breel Embolo converted a 17th-minute penalty to give the Swiss the lead they deserved, and for most of the match it looked as though Qatar's World Cup campaign would end with a defeat.

Yet football rarely follows the script, and Boualem Khoukhi's dramatic 90th-minute equalizer earned Qatar a remarkable 1-1 draw to close out Group B. Qatar's goalkeeper was outstanding with five saves, denying a relentless Swiss attack that registered seven shots on target. Referee Said Martinez brandished two yellow cards to Qatar and one to Switzerland in an intense finale.
