Santa Clara (California) – First usurping opportunities, then conceding a last-minute goal: Switzerland squandered what was believed to be a certain opening victory in the World Cup against Qatar on Saturday. The superior Swiss conceded the equalizer to 1-1 (1-0) against the reigning Asian champions in the 94th minute through Boualem Khoukhi, thus enabling Qatar to win its first point ever at a World Cup. In the parallel game the day before, Canada and Bosnia had also drawn 1-1.
