Qatar Stuns Switzerland with Stoppage-Time Equalizer at World Cup
Qatar produced the first major shock of the 2026 World Cup by earning a 1-1 draw with Switzerland. What looked on paper like a routine win for the Swiss turned into the biggest surprise of the tournament so far.
Switzerland repeatedly wasted chances in front of goal and was punished deep in stoppage time. In the 94th minute, Boualem Khouhi scored to give Qatar a dramatic equalizer and its first-ever World Cup point, a historic result for the team.
Breel Embolo had put Switzerland ahead from a penalty, but that goal was not enough. Despite the Swiss pressure and numerous misses, Qatar held on long enough to strike late and leave Switzerland frustrated.
The match was reported by Sport 5 on June 14, 2026, at 00:10. It was presented as Qatar’s first point in World Cup history and the tournament’s first major upset.
