Canada 6–0 Qatar: FIFA World Cup 2026. Jonathan David’s hat-trick powered Canada to a historic victory over nine-man Qatar at BC Place, Vancouver. It is the first FIFA World Cup victory for the 2026 co-hosts, who, with four points, are on the precipice of the knockout round.
Canada coach Jesse Marsch called for the fans and players to make Qatar feel their presence, and both delivered. Cyle Larin, fresh off his goal against Bosnia and Herzegovina, slotted home a rebound. David took it to another level, pulverising a volley that blazed past Mahmoud Abunada.
It was then down to nine for Qatar when Assim Madibo’s challenge on Ismael Kone resulted in a red card. Nathan Saliba’s free-kick goal was inevitable, as was the own goal from Mohamed Manai and a late David strike to end a night that Canada will never forget.
