The Switzerland attacker in white was in an onside *position* — positioned even with or marginally behind the second-last Qatar defender — at the moment the ball was played to him. Under the Laws of the Game, being level with the second-last defender is a legal (onside) position. The penalty was correctly awarded. At a World Cup match with tight scoring (1–1), VAR would have intervened immediately if offside were clear, so the lack of an overturn confirms the on-field call was sound.
