Late own goal denies Switzerland victory over Qatar
Qatar and Switzerland drew 1-1 in a World Cup Group Stage - 1 fixture at Levi's Stadium, with the hosts snatching a share of the points deep into stoppage time. Breel Embolo had given Murat Yakin's side the lead from the penalty spot in the 17th minute, a goal that stood up for the majority of the contest.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Switzerland dominated for long spells, controlling 68 percent of possession and forcing 26 shots to Qatar's six, seven of them on target compared with the hosts' three. Despite that pressure, the scoreline remained 1-0 at half-time and stayed that way until deep into the second half, with Julen Lopetegui's side struggling to create clear openings of their own.
Qatar's equaliser arrived in the 90th minute through Miro Muheim, who turned the ball into his own net to level the score at 1-1 and deny Switzerland what their overall play had threatened for much of the match. The result left both sides sharing the spoils despite the lopsided nature of the statistics.
Rubén Vargas was rated the top performer on the pitch at 7.9, with Ricardo Rodríguez and Michel Aebischer also posting strong marks for Switzerland.
Switzerland's expected goals figure of 3.2 against Qatar's 0.6 underlined how much of the match they controlled without managing to force a second goal.
