Dominated for long spells, Qatar snatched a historic 1-1 draw against Switzerland thanks to Muheim's own goal in stoppage time.
Switzerland controlled the match. Embolo converted a 17th-minute penalty after Abunada fouled Freuler. The numbers were overwhelming: 26 Swiss attempts and 3.24 xG against Qatar's 0.76.
Abunada then kept Qatar alive with important saves. At 90+4, Homam Ahmed's cross caused panic and Muheim, under Khoukhi's pressure, diverted the ball into his own net. The VAR debate will continue, but Qatar leaves with a historic point.
