Qatar coach Julen Lopetegui has commented on the 1-1 draw with Switzerland in the first round of the 2026 World Cup.
FIFA reports that the Asian team equalized in the 90+4th minute.
"I'm proud of my team. I told the players that even if we didn't score and didn't draw, I would be happy with the attitude and discipline they showed today. But fortunately, we were able to score and it will go down in history. Sometimes a little luck helps, but to be successful in life and sports, you have to believe and work hard. That's why we're happy for the players," Lopetegui said.
In Group B, in addition to Qatar and Switzerland, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Canada are also participating.
After the first round, each of the four teams in Group B has earned 1 point. Both games of the tour ended with a score of 1:1.
