The Canadian team made history at the World Cup.
"Canada is the first team outside of Europe and South America to score five or more goals in a single World Cup match," according to Opta.
This co-hosting team of the 2026 World Cup crushed the 2022 World Cup host nation, Qatar, with a resounding 6-0 victory in a completely dominant performance. Qatar collapsed after receiving two red cards, including one early in the second half for Assim Madibo for a foul on Ismael Kone, leaving the Canadian player on oxygen after being stretchered off the pitch, according to Reuters.

According to Reuters, the latest updates indicate that Ismael Kone may have broken his leg and could miss the 2026 World Cup.
However, despite the significant loss of players, Ismael Kone remains a crucial midfielder for the Canadian national team, and Canadian fans still had a day of celebration as they witnessed their team's resounding victory and the establishment of a historic milestone at the World Cup.
Ismael Kone, 24, has 42 caps for the Canadian national team and has scored 4 goals. At the 2022 World Cup, Kone came on as a substitute in all three of Canada's group stage matches.
At the 2026 World Cup, he became a key player and played the full 90 minutes in the opening match, a 1-1 draw against Bosnia & Herzegovina on June 13th. He currently plays for Sassuolo in Serie A (Italy). Kone's absence from upcoming matches will significantly impact the Canadian national team's goals.

Following their historic victory against Qatar, the Canadian team is currently leading Group B with 4 points after 2 matches (1 win, 1 draw), ahead of Switzerland (also with 4 points) due to a better goal difference. Switzerland also defeated Bosnia & Herzegovina 4-1 on the same day, June 19th.
In the other group stage match, Canada will face Switzerland at 2 AM on June 25th to determine the top spot and a direct qualification to the Round of 32. Meanwhile, Qatar and Bosnia & Herzegovina, with only 1 point each, will have to fight hard for a chance to advance from one of the 8 best third-placed teams.
