Qatar v Switzerland

Qatar record their first-ever point at a World Cup after last-gasp drama against Switzerland helped them claim a 1-1 draw. Edmilson and Ndoye both spurned early chances at either end before Embolo’s 17th-minute opener from the penalty spot after Abunada’s foul on Freuler. The second period was a much quieter contest, but Switzerland saw so many opportunities to wrap up all three points go begging. Qatar captain Khoukhi then climbed the highest to level in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time. Switzerland accumulated 3.24 expected goals (xG) to the 0.76 from Lopetegui’s men, but Khoukhi’s heroics leave all four teams on one point in Group B. Next up, Switzerland face Bosnia-Herzegovina on Thursday, while co-hosts Canada await Qatar later on the same day. That is all we have time for, until next time – goodbye for now!

FULL-TIME: QATAR 1-1 SWITZERLAND

The Switzerland corner gets cleared at the near post before Abunada punches away. Jashari then hammers wastefully over, and Qatar are seconds away from their first-ever point at a World Cup.

Manzambi has a late run and wins a corner on the right-hand side. Can Switzerland steal the victory back after slipping in the final moments?

Own Goal

GOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLLL! QATAR LEVEL AT THE DEATH! Having wasted a heap of chances, Switzerland are punished in the dying seconds as Qatar make it 1-1. Ahmed has tons of time on the left to cross towards the back post, where captain Khoukhi towers above Muheim and thunders a header into the top-right corner. What a moment for Lopetegui’s team, who are going to claim a famous point in their World Cup opener!
