Stoppage-Time Heroics: Khoukhi’s Late Header Secures Qatar’s First World Cup Point
Qatar produced a stunning comeback to earn their first-ever World Cup point in a 1-1 draw with Switzerland. After conceding a spot-kick in the 16th minute, the Gulf side stayed organised and threatened on the break throughout the match. With defeat looming, Boualem Khoukhi rose above the Swiss defence in the fourth minute of stoppage time to power home a dramatic equaliser. His injury-time header sparked joyous celebrations and marked a historic moment for Qatar at the World Cup. Group B remains wide open after the first round, with all four teams level on points and goal difference. Qatar will face Canada next, while Switzerland take on Bosnia-Herzegovina in their second match.
