In a World Cup Group B match on Saturday, Switzerland were held to a 1-1 draw by Qatar. The Swiss dominated possession and created numerous chances, but could only score once – a penalty in the first half. Qatar, who were largely defensive, managed to equalize in stoppage time from one of their rare attacks. The result was a huge disappointment for Switzerland, who had expected to start their campaign with a victory.
