Qatar Stun Switzerland With a Last-Gasp Equaliser

Qatar refused to go quietly in their first World Cup match on foreign soil, snatching a stunning late equaliser against Switzerland to share the spoils in Group B, according to Reuters.

Boualem Khoukhi was the hero for the hosts-turned-travellers, his goal sending Qatar's bench into celebration and leaving a Swiss side that had looked comfortable utterly stunned in Santa Clara, California.

The result keeps both teams in the hunt in Group B, with neither side able to claim a winning start to their campaign. For Qatar, a nation that hosted the tournament just four years ago, earning a point on their return felt like a statement.
