World Cup 2026: All four teams in Group B start with one point

The 2026 World Cup's Group B has become a tightly contested battleground, with all four participating teams starting on an equal footing after the initial matches. In a significant upset, Qatar achieved a historic milestone by holding Switzerland to a 1-1 draw. Qatar's Abdelkarim Hassan Khoukhi scored a crucial equalizer in the 90+4th minute, securing their first-ever point in World Cup history. This draw marks a stark contrast to their previous World Cup appearance in 2022, where they lost all three group stage games. Meanwhile, Canada also drew 1-1 with Bosnia and Herzegovina, further consolidating the parity within the group. Despite the identical point tally, Switzerland currently tops the Group B standings, primarily due to a better fair play record. This outcome leaves the path to the knockout stage wide open for all four nations. The upcoming fixtures will see host nation Canada face Qatar, while Bosnia and Herzegovina will play Switzerland, setting the stage for further intense competition.
