GolVolt Recap

Qatar snatched a 1-1 draw against Switzerland in Group B, stealing a point deep into stoppage time at the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium. The Swiss took control early when Breel Embolo buried a 17th-minute penalty, arriving just one minute after Mahmoud Abunada picked up a yellow card. A fractured first half saw further bookings for Qatar's Jassem Gaber and Switzerland's Denis Zakaria. Switzerland sat on that narrow advantage and paid the ultimate price. In the 94th minute, Boualem Khoukhi struck a dramatic equalizer to rescue Qatar.
