A technical glitch occurred during a penalty kick for Switzerland against Qatar national football team in the 2026 World Cup, allowing Switzerland to score. According to FIFA's statement, the glitch occurred before the penalty kick was awarded to Switzerland in the 14th minute. The issue was quickly resolved, and the video technology was not affected. The normal procedure was followed to verify the decision made on the field.
