Qatar Stuns Switzerland With 94th-Minute Equalizer at World Cup
Qatar earned a historic first-ever World Cup point on June 14, 2026, when it drew 1-1 with Switzerland after scoring in the 94th minute. The result was the first major surprise of the 2026 tournament and, by the article’s account, its biggest shock so far.
Switzerland had repeatedly missed chances in front of goal and seemed headed for a routine win on paper. Instead, Qatar punished the missed opportunities deep into stoppage time with a dramatic equalizer from Bualem Chouhi, securing a point for his team.
Breel Embolo had earlier put Switzerland ahead from a penalty, but his goal was not enough. The match left Qatar with an unprecedented milestone in World Cup history, while Switzerland was left frustrated after failing to close out a game it was expected to control.
