Canadian fans celebrate after historic World Cup victory.

According to Reuters, despite midfielder Ismael Kone suffering a broken leg, Canadian fans celebrated wildly after their team's historic 6-0 victory over Asian side Qatar at the 2026 World Cup on June 19.

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.

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.
