Summary
Canada crushed Qatar 6-0 in a historic World Cup debut, with Jonathan David lighting up the scoreboard with a hat-trick and Larin and Saliba adding goals. The win, Canada’s first ever at a men’s World Cup, sends them soaring into the knockout rounds — but the celebration was tinged with heartbreak after Ismael Kone suffered a horrific leg break. Two Qatari players were sent off, including Homam Ahmed for denying a clear goal, while Kone’s teammates honored him by holding up his jersey. Despite the triumph, the team’s joy was overshadowed by concern for Kone’s recovery, reminding everyone of the brutal physicality of the game — and the price of victory.
