FIFA WC 2026: Qatar Make History as Boualem Khoukhi's Last-Gasp Goal Denies Switzerland

By IANS News June 14, 2026 • 08:44 AM View: 1177

Qatar earned their first-ever point at a FIFA World Cup on foreign soil after Boualem Khoukhi’s dramatic stoppage-time header secured a 1-1 draw against Switzerland in a gripping Group-stage encounter on Saturday.

The Swiss appeared destined to claim all three points after Breel Embolo converted a 17th-minute penalty, but Qatar struck in the fourth minute of added time to stun their European opponents at a sun-soaked venue in the San Francisco Bay Area.
