Qatar Snatch Stoppage-Time Draw To Claim Historic W/Cup Point

The Swiss looked to be heading to victory, but Boualem Khoukhi struck in the fifth minute of injury time to earn a famous draw.

Switzerland are punished for allowing the game to drift. Their tempo and intensity noticeably dropped in the second half and they seemed happy to try to see out a 1-0.

Qatar lost all three group games in their home tournament four years ago.
