Qatar hold Switzerland amid VAR chaos, Canada up next
Switzerland 1–1 Qatar, chaos behind the equaliser

The 1–1 draw in Group B hinged on a penalty that should never have stood, FIFA's semi-automated offside technology failed during the incident involving Breel Embolo (1). Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness did not hold back: "This sort of stuff should have been tested and be foolproof, I'm afraid there is a big question mark about that" (1). Qatar did not blink and took the gift.
Canada on Thursday, Lopetegui's project gathers speed
