Qatar earns historic points against Switzerland.

VHO - The Qatar national team created one of the biggest surprises since the start of the tournament by scoring a golden goal in the final minutes of injury time, brilliantly holding Switzerland to a 1-1 draw in their opening match of Group B at the 2026 World Cup finals at Levi's Stadium.

Breel Embolo coolly converted a penalty to open the scoring for Switzerland.

Entering the match, Switzerland quickly took control of the game thanks to their superior quality in midfield, constantly putting pressure on the opponent with opportunities created by Dan Ndoye, Denis Zakaria, and Manuel Akanji.

Nevertheless, Qatar, under the guidance of coach Julen Lopetegui, nearly pulled off a surprise when Edmilson Junior stole the ball from Manuel Akanji and broke through to face the goalkeeper, but his shot went straight to Gregor Kobel.

The Swiss responded immediately with two consecutive chances for Dan Ndoye, but he failed to capitalize.

The turning point came in the 13th minute when Remo Freuler raced down to meet Breel Embolo's header, and goalkeeper Mahmoud Abunada committed a foul in the penalty area. After a VAR review, Switzerland were awarded a penalty, and Embolo calmly opened the scoring in the 17th minute, making it 1-0.
