@FlameRaptorRaven's rating of Switzerland vs Qatar

@FlameRaptorRaven rated the Switzerland vs Qatar game 6.7 out of 10 in FIFA on June 13, 2026. Final score: Switzerland 1 – Qatar 1. Group B. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

“I was so ready to rate this game in the red, but I can’t possibly do that to a game that ended on a last minute goal that creates an upset (a draw) and that involves a legendary goalkeeping performance. For 95 minutes, this game wasn’t fun (aside from reveling in Qatar losing). It was one-sided, but it didn’t have the drama and animosity of Mexico-South Africa nor the aesthetic appeal of USA-Paraguay. It was the first genuinely bad game of the tournament… until the final minute. Qatar looked dead and buried. Their best chance only came in the literal first minutes because of sloppy play from the Swiss defence. But luckily, they had 2 factors in their favour. First, Switzerland’s terrible finishing. Not even national team legend Breel Embolo who only scored because of a penalty that may have been offside, could figure it out. More importantly, they had a wall in their goal. Mahmoud Abunada will be in football lore forever as the one who gave his nation their first ever World Cup point.”
