Canada completely outclassed Qatar. |
The home team completely dominated and gave the Asian representatives almost no chance to defend. From the very first minutes, Canada pressed their opponents and were soon rewarded with the opening goal in the 16th minute. From Jonathan David's powerful shot that goalkeeper Abunada couldn't hold onto, Cyle Larin quickly pounced on the rebound from close range, putting the home team ahead.
The one-sided game continued, and in the 29th minute, Jonathan David directly put his name on the scoreboard with a decisive volley inside the penalty area, doubling Canada's lead. Before the first half ended, the striker completed his brace with a close-range rebound in the 45+3 minute, giving the home team a 3-0 lead after the first 45 minutes.
Qatar's difficulties piled up when Homam Ahmed received a red card in the 34th minute after preventing Buchanan from scoring a clear chance. In the second half, the West Asian side were further reduced to ten men when Madibo was sent off in the 54th minute after a dangerous tackle, leaving Qatar with only nine players on the field.
Taking advantage of their numerical superiority, Canada continuously increased the pressure. In the 64th minute, Saliba executed a beautiful free-kick from outside the penalty area, extending the lead to 4-0. Then, in the 75th minute, the Qatar defense made another mistake, awkwardly putting the ball into their own net.
With a clear advantage in both personnel and expertise, Canada is very close to achieving their biggest victory at the 2026 World Cup.
