On Saturday, June 13, as part of the first round of the group stage of the 2026 World Cup, a match was held between the teams of Qatar and Switzerland. The European team was confidently in the lead for most of the match, but in the last minutes they were unable to maintain the winning result, ending the match with a 1:1 tie.. The Swiss, being the favorites of the match, began to put pressure on the opponent from the very beginning and quickly achieved success, earning a penalty. After a pass from Manuel Akanji from the right side into the penalty area, Brel Embolo headed the ball to Remo Freuler, who was brought down by the Qatari goalkeeper trying to intercept the ball. From the penalty spot, Embolo confidently fired into the bottom left corner, effectively moving the ball and goalkeeper in different directions. In the second half of the meeting, the Swiss team continued to maintain an advantage and control the game, but were unable to build on their success, failing to convert the chances created, for which they paid. In stoppage time for the match, Qatar managed to take one of the few chances. In the 90+4 minutes, Homam Al-Amin passed the ball into the penalty area from the left flank, and Bualem Khouhi won a horse fight against the defender at the far post and headed the ball into the net. According to the results of the first round of the 2026 World Cup in Group B, all teams have the same results, since previously another match in the quartet between Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina ended with the same draw result.
