Breel Embolo's penalty conversion against Qatar in the 17th minute represented a World Cup milestone for Switzerland: the nation's first-ever penalty goal in the tournament.
The goal ended an improbable 41-match World Cup streak without a successful penalty, demonstrating Switzerland's historical difficulty from the spot at football's biggest stage.
Despite the breakthrough penalty, Switzerland could not claim victory when Boualem Khoukhi's header in the 90+4th minute leveled the Group B fixture at 1-1.
