Late Equaliser Against Switzerland Earns Qatar Their First-Ever World Cup Point

In the opening round of Group B at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Qatar secured a dramatic 1-1 draw against Switzerland thanks to a stoppage-time equaliser, earning the nation's first-ever point in World Cup history after four matches.

At the 2022 World Cup, Qatar made their tournament debut as hosts but lost all three group-stage matches (0-2 to Ecuador, 1-3 to Senegal, and 0-2 to the Netherlands), scoring just once and conceding seven goals.

Competing in their second World Cup appearance this year, Qatar showed remarkable resilience in their opening match. Houshi struck a last-gasp equaliser against Switzerland to secure the country's first-ever World Cup point and prevent Qatar from losing their first four World Cup matches.
