Canada crushes Qatar 6-0 in World Cup 2026 group stage
Canada delivered a dominant 6-0 victory over a nine-man Qatar, with Jonathan David scoring a hat-trick. The match turned after Qatar received two red cards in the second half.
Canada produced a commanding performance to dismantle Qatar 6-0 in their Group B match on Thursday. The hosts took full control after a chaotic second half in which Qatar collapsed both structurally and numerically, being reduced first to ten and then to nine men following a straight red card and a VAR upgrade. Jonathan David led the way with a hat-trick, consistently punishing Qatar's defensive errors and loose marking. His movement and efficiency inside the box proved decisive, including a simple finish from close range after reacting quickest to a rebound for Canada's sixth goal. Cyle Larin also got on the scoresheet, while Nathan Saliba made an immediate impact off the bench, scoring a stunning free-kick and later providing an assist, underlining Canada's depth and attacking fluidity. An own goal from Mohammad Al Mannai added to Qatar's misery in a one-sided contest that Canada controlled from start to finish.
