Qatar earns its first World Cup point after drawing Switzerland at Santa Clara, with a late equaliser from the Qatar captain. Switzerland take the lead in the first half when Breel Embolo scores a penalty, putting the Swiss ahead. The match remains tight through the second half as Qatar presses for an equaliser. The game turns at the end when the Qatar captain heads home a goal in stoppage time. The header arrives in the 94th–95th minute range, cancelling out Switzerland’s first-half advantage and securing a 1–1 draw. With the equaliser, Qatar records its first point in the tournament. Switzerland’s lead is therefore short-lived, and both teams finish the match level. The scoring sequence is consistent across reports: Embolo’s first-half penalty for Switzerland is answered by Qatar’s captain with a late headed goal for Qatar at the death.
