00:00Many of their players naturalize Qatari citizens, the likes of Portuguese born Pedro Miguel and Belgian born Ed Mielsen.
00:08But the star man is Akram Afif from the capital Doha, twice the Asian player of the year.
00:15Clever, highly technical, always a potential match winner.
00:18In attack, Yusuf Abdurissac has been preferred to record scorer Almoez Ali.
00:25Start with the ball, yes.
00:29Switzerland have 17 in their squad from the Qatar World Cup, joint most with Argentina.
00:36And a special day this for Granit Xhaka and Ricardo Rodriguez, setting a new record for appearances by Swiss players
00:44in this tournament.
00:4513 great friends both, by the way.
00:48Xhaka quite vocal about what he thought was a below par 1-1 draw with Australia.
00:59Under the baking hot California sun, it is a high noon local time confrontation here in the Bay Area.
01:06And trying to break beyond the Switzerland press.
01:09Twice the Asian footballer of the year.
01:14Akram Afif, and an opening here.
01:16And Switzerland all at sixes and sevens.
01:20My goodness, Ed Mielsen.
01:21Portugal, naturalized Qatari citizen. How about this Rob?
01:25Yeah, what a miss.
01:26And you're looking at Akanji with a real slip.
01:28Thinking you've got to score from here.
01:31Just didn't really have the connection.
01:33Didn't have the touch out of his feet.
01:35He's having to say, if there's anyone we can leave, it's you.
01:37He's not going to have the creative flair.
01:40Rodriguez, who centred it in and came off the diminutive figure of Asin Madivo.
01:47At least being in a good position to do so.
01:52A shot just come in here from Indoi.
01:55Forcing the save there from Abunadar during the season.
01:59Yeah, really sharp from him.
02:01I mean, it is a long ball over and you see the run top of the screen.
02:03He's just going to go and hopefully the ball is going to be in front of him.
02:07It just isn't. And that drags him a little bit wide.
02:10Abunadar had to be sharp down to his right.
02:12Just see the space that's there for him.
02:15Brilliant view from the ref's cam.
02:17Just sharp save down to his right.
02:20But that's the threat. Go forward early.
02:23Get your strike away because by the time Qatar are set,
02:26it's going to be difficult to break them down.
02:33The shot was on for Indoi.
02:35Play from Switzerland.
02:37Work the space out wide.
02:39The combination out wide and the cut back.
02:40The acres of space.
02:42And from there, it's got to hit the target.
02:44Leaning back on his weaker foot.
02:47Absolutely no confidence over the strike whatsoever.
02:50He scored some goals for Switzerland in recent times,
02:53but very few for Nottingham Forest.
02:54It's been an hour for the south of the great city of San Francisco.
03:00He was bound to be free kick to Switzerland.
03:04He didn't much like it, did he?
03:06More so for the area that he's given away the fouling there.
03:10There's contact.
03:11It's gone down.
03:12It's a tackle from behind.
03:13I can't see how it isn't a yellow card, but...
03:15Tackle on!
03:20He's going to have a shot here.
03:22He's eyeing this up.
03:23Just fire it at the goal and get bodies across the goalkeeper.
03:26I can't believe it!
03:28I can't!
03:29I can't!
03:32Ruben Vargas.
03:33Von Switzerland.
03:35Very nearly came off for them.
03:39And he sure.
03:41Zachariah.
03:43Tantalizing one.
03:44And he left that down.
03:48The referee was right on the spot.
03:51And says penalty.
03:53It's a clear penalty.
03:54Unfortunate for Abernardar in the goal because...
03:57He just felt...
03:59Just about onside for Mbolo.
04:02Freuler might well be offside there.
04:05That second movement is given a penalty.
04:06It will obviously be checked by VAR.
04:10This is what the concern from the kickoff.
04:13That crosses into the box.
04:15A meat and drink for Mbolo.
04:17Freuler gets there.
04:19Soon as he makes contact.
04:21That's a heavy blow on him more than...
04:24Freuler.
04:28Who knows it right now.
04:29Just in recovery.
04:31But...
04:31He's going to get a let-off.
04:34Command to Duncan.
04:36That will be Hale.
04:37Emberlore.
04:41And McLeod does come out.
04:44And big ball.
04:48Switzerland have arrived punctually at this World Cup.
04:53Emberlore for 1-0.
05:09Cool as you like.
05:11In the Californian heat.
05:12He just waits.
05:14For Abernodar to go to one side.
05:16Just watching him.
05:18And then commits to the other.
05:20Provided the opportunity with the header from the cross.
05:24Converts it himself.
05:26Switzerland are on their way.
05:31Very happy.
05:33Very happy.
05:33Murad Diakhin.
05:35There's Ebisha.
05:40Provided there by Abernodar.
05:46It's just a wonderful bit of football.
05:49A lovely dummy from Zakaria.
05:50And then Emberlore I think would have actually wanted the ball himself for that opportunity.
05:55Double winner with Inter.
06:02Murad Diakhin illegally.
06:07It's another errant moment.
06:10For Jabber and a yellow card.
06:14This time.
06:15On Vargas.
06:16Just a quick step over.
06:17Too quick for him.
06:20They've got real problems now.
06:21Come on, let's go!
06:23Woo!
06:23They literally try to throw it through.
06:26And below.
06:27And that foot.
06:29And it did.
06:30They're gone for Endoy again.
06:33He's with the patience that they're showing.
06:35Picking the moments.
06:36He's clever from Emberlore.
06:38A bit of a tucks off the deflection.
06:41Endoy was never really set for it.
06:44But.
06:44They're picking it.
06:45Position on their toes.
06:48Ingar.
06:49It is young.
06:50It's a throw himself out of water.
06:56It's awkward.
06:57It's done really well because.
07:00He's not quite managed to hold it.
07:01But he's managed to get beyond the near post.
07:03Get in front of the near post.
07:05Now maybe the counter-attacking possibility for Abdiri Sack.
07:09Who was brought down and the.
07:12Card has.
07:13Come out here.
07:16Stick against Austria.
07:17In the heat.
07:19In Los Angeles.
07:20To Austria.
07:21He has a chance.
07:21For Qatar.
07:23And it was Ed Milsson.
07:26His second look at goal.
07:28And it came out of.
07:29Very little.
07:30You know.
07:31It wasn't the cleanest of strikes.
07:33But he gets the shot away.
07:35Goals actually going to his left.
07:37Because he reads the strike.
07:38Is a better strike than what it is.
07:40Is a bit of a shank.
07:41A bit of a miss hit.
07:42But.
07:42It almost catches him out.
07:44He says that will be shot up.
07:48Six minutes to be added on.
07:50At the end of the half.
07:51Rodriguez.
07:54Maybe Shah.
07:55Taking over.
07:57And.
07:58Apurada.
07:59Flinging himself at it.
08:01Was.
08:02Enjoy.
08:05Shaka.
08:07And.
08:08Almost had a bit of an invitation.
08:11Attached.
08:12In below.
08:14To connect with.
08:15He's done well.
08:16Having it up.
08:17It's well judged.
08:18Very very deep on his line.
08:19But.
08:20Just judge that ball.
08:22And where in below was.
08:23And coming in.
08:25From here.
08:26Some really good.
08:26Remains.
08:27One nil.
08:28Two.
08:29Switzerland.
08:30There.
08:31In below.
08:33And.
08:33That was.
08:35Beautifully once.
08:36But no.
08:36End product.
08:38For Vargas.
08:39Close.
08:41Brilliant.
08:42From an envelope.
08:43Wonderful set.
08:43Couldn't quite get it under control.
08:46It's just waiting for his mate.
08:47Wait for his team mate.
08:48No.
08:49Could have gone anywhere.
08:52This was Vargas coming through.
08:54So.
08:55Last moment.
08:56From Abenouda.
08:58I think there's a keeper.
08:59You're giving away a penalty in a one nil game.
09:01But he's actually had a really good half.
09:03He's kept his team in it.
09:09Have been решил.
09:12He's also and if the unit.
09:19Want to get those.
09:24Picture of concentration.
09:26And then Vargas.
09:28and Apunadar didn't really get close to that one and Vidi was one of the tail
09:35targets for the Swiss not for the first time they got the first contact
09:41Nagas this time Apunadar was punch happy
09:47Chaga watched it all the way shining right down on the players
09:56again for Switzerland and we know what often happens when this man gets into
10:01position that Granit Xhaka
10:05you know his eyes lit up two feet off the floor it's a fantastic strike
10:09there is a touch from Apunadar he was right Granit Xhaka he was appealing for the
10:15here is Remo Freyla tantalizing ball in there Endoy spinning and turning down
10:23Endoy behind it goes what looked like a corner initially but
10:29Sainte-Martinez overruling there Samalou just didn't get his feet right did he
10:34but again that's gonna lay this in the header just Endoy striking onto his own
10:43foot well enable Qatar to ring the personnel changes look at Nuland Lopetegui there
10:52right beside his three comrades as I mentioned Ahmed Fatih, Karim Rudiaf and also Ahmed Alaeddin
11:16one of the players to have departed
11:20Asla! Asla! Asla! Asla! Asla! Asla! Asla! Asla! Asla! Asla! Asla! Asla! Asla! Asla! Asla! Asla! Asla!
11:25also Ayub
11:28No we
11:30no great surprise
11:35earlier on he's really had to commit himself without the ball let's see if these switches
11:41have the desired effect Rob Sanic Martinez went back this time will be a free kick really good
11:54response frustration initially and then from there to get it back and he got that little
11:59bit of space and wanted to drive feeling I step over and there and change that now it's really
12:09have the same effect here we go Edisha departs there is manzambi exciting yeah the leader is
12:20on and immediately goes over there take the corner this for Augsburg in the Bundesliga by
12:28I'll pull that up
12:36as my guts Switzerland by better of Miguel
12:44but quite just changed his mind now he was setting to shoot to cross and then thought
12:52martini what I might just have a go and you see what he's trying that high drifter into the far
12:58corner
12:59quite get it right
13:00he received it from Freyla that time and one feeds it and the substitutes trying to make a difference
13:08including reader not long on
13:13that wasn't quite opening up for him wonderful little turn and then from this point now he's there
13:19thinking I want it on the left one of my left if he was on the other side of it
13:22himself up to the
13:23front foot that's manzambi having to go back to defend that's not ideal against Ed Nielsen for Switzerland
13:31but still alive here and sometimes it is worth having a pop from long distance that was the view of
13:43Budyav but it's a poor decision for Budyav in the end those are the openings they're looking for those little
13:50bit of moments causing confusion at the back line
13:53but that space opens up for the sprightly Ruben Vargas
13:58the save by Abunada and Zambi
14:04the centre can be again ginger lovely ball through
14:13still just the one
14:17it's got to go with his lefty field
14:19he's done everything he can with his right foot and he's still not got the strike on target
14:23from there that is such a hard skill
14:26A to get it through the keeper's legs and then get it on target
14:30this one
14:31which is a Swiss culinary delicacy
14:39now here we go with a change
14:42Mohamed Mané
14:43Mané coming on
14:49that will be it for Asim Mané
14:52certainly somebody whose stock is rising
15:00comes to situations such as that one it is a big talking point
15:05here's Manzambi play Regis on Manzambi
15:10he's bringing the game to life
15:13the young star
15:15for Switzerland
15:16now that's him from distance
15:18he just needs a little bit of magic a bit of spark in the game now
15:23from there no pressure on him
15:24why not
15:25not quite getting it right there but
15:27he's got the confidence
15:34may just get a couple more sighters
15:36oh Embelo
15:37trying to compose himself
15:39Embelo
15:42well it's going to be a bit cross
15:49here he is he's stepping through he's done so well
15:51just to keep the ball keep on top of the game
15:54keep on top of everything and then just
15:55going to bet there's a game
15:58that won't score
15:59and Guni was the player who went down
16:06just wondering whether
16:08Switzerland gets
16:09to deal with
16:12Nkramjiv
16:13took a little nick of
16:15Gini
16:16but it's a pair of hands
16:18Gregor Kobel
16:19who's going to be making an appearance for Qatar
16:21he is the
16:22record appearances man for the Maroons
16:29He was the player involved that time. He's not having it is he?
16:35And his manager Lopetegui is on the pitch
16:38I agree with that but through the back of Amdurne
16:45Not a reaction
16:48Suffice it to say he disagreed
16:52So the legend is on
16:54Al-Hydous
16:57In the place of Edmilsson
17:09Does he make a positive difference?
17:12Player number 8 Edmilsson
17:14The experience to make a difference
17:17Atrama Viva look at this one
17:19And well there's a weak shot from Ahmed Al-Hydin
17:26It's poor
17:27Poor really
17:28Could done with another pass in there rather than twisting and turning
17:31Had another option
17:33Anji
17:35Enbelo can't be a real handful
17:37Enbelo
17:39Zachariah
17:41And no takers
17:47Zachariah
17:48Really good from Enbelo
17:50That's what he can do
17:51We've seen him do it in a number of times
17:53And that
17:53It would be a minimum
17:55To have come on
17:56From Murat Yakin
17:57On this game
17:59Prama Viva
18:01Thinking of one of the dark horses as a tournament
18:05That should be
18:06That should be
18:07Abunabaz indeed
18:08It was
18:09All the way
18:11Set by
18:12Yashari
18:14Second game

19:2315
19:24They've got the result, the reward
19:314LM Hogi
19:35Qatari stalwart
19:38And this is how it came about
19:40The view from the ref cam
19:42Plus the capacity to change things
19:44And it did take a little nick
19:46So it will be a corner here
19:47For Switzerland
19:49Action stations
19:50Deep in stoppage time
19:52And that really has
19:55Changed the vibe
20:03Rida
20:08Raya who got it away
20:09Rida once again
20:12Tried to claw it clear
20:15And that is not going to help
20:17The Swiss cause
20:18Yashari
20:20And will that go down as the last chance
20:23And just look at the emotion there
20:24Fatih
20:26Congratulating his keeper
20:28Well it celebrates it like a goal
20:30At once
20:31It means so much for them
20:33The fans behind the goal
20:36Waited
20:36Waited and waited
20:37For that one scrap of a chance
20:40That one opportunity
20:45Only the second World Cup goal
20:48And it's over here
20:53In the Bay Area
20:55Qatar
20:57Have the maiden World Cup point
