Kathmandu. In Santa Clara America FIFA World Cup 2026 Group 'B' match, Qatar drew 1-1 with Switzerland by scoring at the last moment. With this, Qatar has managed to score points for the first time in the history of the World Cup. Switzerland took the lead in the 17th minute of the match at Levi's Stadium.
