Embolo always delivers for Switzerland
With his penalty goal, the Swiss striker confirms his remarkable consistency in major tournaments: he has scored at EURO 2020, the 2022 World Cup, EURO 2024, and now also at the 2026 World Cup.

An achievement that makes him only the second player in Switzerland’s history to score in four different major tournaments. Before him, only Xherdan Shaqiri had managed it, finding the net in as many as six international competitions.
Freuler-Abunada collision ends badly: stonewall penalty
13TH MINUTE - A bad, in fact very bad collision between Qatar goalkeeper Abunada and Remo Freuler leads to a penalty for Switzerland and the lead after just under 15 minutes of play.
A clever touch from Embolo sends the Bologna player through on goal, and he gets to the ball first before being taken out by Abunada’s desperate charge off his line. In the incident, the keeper stays down for a few seconds after taking a blow to the face from the Swiss player’s thigh, but he is eventually able to get back up with no consequences.
The referee immediately points to the spot for Switzerland, while VAR carries out a quick check for a possible offside position from Freuler. After the review, the decision is confirmed: penalty to Switzerland, coolly converted by Embolo.
