Late Drama Denies Switzerland; Qatar Steals Point

Switzerland dominated early through Breel Embolo's 17th-minute opener, but Qatar refused to fold. A stunning 90+4' leveller from Miro Muheim snatched a 1-1 draw in Santa Clara, defying our 62% confidence prediction of a Swiss win.

Our model backed Switzerland at 62% win probability with a projected 0-1 scoreline—we got the winner right but missed the shock equaliser. The xG (0.8-1.8) roughly aligned with play, yet Qatar's late heroics and Switzerland's failure to convert dominance proved decisive.

Switzerland still banked a point and sits ahead on expected performance. Qatar, however, punched above their weight to claim a draw they had no right to get.
