Qatar’s first point as Australia shock Türkiye, Senesi’s ordeal and heat in United States recap | OneFootball

Stoppage-time drama, heavyweight clashes and an upset headlined the third day of the World Cup in the United States.

As reported by Le Progres, the night also brought travel snags, fierce heat and a kit ruling.

Qatar’s 1-1 against Switzerland came via Boualem Khoukhi’s stoppage-time header after Breel Embolo’s penalty, their first World Cup point after three defeats in 2022. With Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina also drawing, Group B is level on one point apiece.

Brazil and Morocco drew 1-1, Saibari scoring before Vinicius equalised. A slower second half followed but the contest delivered.

Scotland beat Haiti 1-0 through John McGinn, their first tournament win since 1990.

Australia beat Türkiye 2-0 through Nestory Irankuda and Connor Metcalfe, an authoritative, somewhat unexpected win that puts them alongside the United States atop Group D.

Called up to replace Leonardo Balerdi, Tottenham’s Marcos Senesi faced delays and lost luggage flying from Ibiza to Kansas City before joining Argentina to start training.

Heat is intensifying. Germany trained in 41 degrees and Spain’s Tennessee base has struggled to dip below 30, with Fifa hydration breaks in place.

Egypt must modify their shirts, removing seven stars above the crest and standardising the lettering. The Pharaohs should wear altered kits against Belgium on Monday.
