Canada crushed Qatar 6-0

TPO - The Canadian national team has just set a historic milestone for themselves at the 2026 World Cup with a crushing 6-0 victory over Qatar, but the joy of the host team is not complete.

In their second match of the group stage, the "Les Rouges" crushed their Asian opponents in a spectacular attacking performance. However, the host nation's celebratory atmosphere was dampened when their key midfielder, Ismael Kone, suffered a particularly serious injury.

A one-sided game was quickly established after the opening whistle thanks to the mobility of Canada's attacking players. In the 16th minute, veteran striker Cyle Larin opened the scoring with a decisive close-range rebound. Canada maintained the pressure before Jonathan David doubled the lead in the 29th minute with a beautiful volley. Before the first half ended, David himself capitalized on a defensive error to complete his brace in the first minute of added time, giving Canada a 3-0 lead.

Qatar's nightmare truly began in the 33rd minute when Homam Ahmed received a direct red card for deliberately obstructing a clear scoring opportunity for Tajon Buchanan near the penalty area. Initially, the referee issued a yellow card and awarded a penalty, but after consulting VAR, the foul was determined to have occurred outside the penalty area, resulting in a change of penalty to a direct red card.

All of Qatar's tactical plans crumbled after this red card.

The second half began with a nightmare for Canada when Ismael Kone collided with Assim Madibo. The Canadian midfielder collapsed to the ground in pain and had to be stretchered off, much to the worry and even tears of his teammates. For Qatar, it was also a tragedy as Madibo was sent off. With only nine players, the Asian representatives' hopes of equalizing were dashed.

Canadian players shocked by Kone's injury.

Canada had no difficulty imposing their game and finding more goals while playing with a two-man advantage. Nathan Saliba, who came on for Kone in the 59th minute, scored to make it 4-0 just five minutes after coming on. In the 75th minute, Jacob Shaffelburg's relentless pressure caused Qatar defender Mohammed Manai to clumsily score an own goal.

The goalfest ended in the second minute of added time in the second half when David completed his hat-trick, sealing a resounding 6-0 victory for Canada. Instead of celebrating wildly, the Canadian striker was pensive. The Canadian players also wanted to finish the match early to head to Kona.
