Mondial 2026 : Première victoire historique du Canada face au Qatar (6-0)
Canada secured their first-ever World Cup victory by crushing Qatar (6-0) on the second day of Group B at the 2026 World Cup. A demonstration of strength that brings the Canadians considerably closer to a historic qualification for the round of 32.
Jesse Marsch's men quickly took control thanks to Cyle Larin, who opened the scoring in the 16th minute. Thirteen minutes later, Jonathan David doubled the lead (29th minute), before the match turned decisively with the sending-off of Tajon Buchanan for Qatar in the 33rd minute.
Taking advantage of their numerical superiority, the Canadians increased their dominance. Jonathan David scored his second goal in first-period overtime (45+3), giving his team a comfortable lead before the break.
Qatar's fortunes then spiraled further downward after Assim Madibo was sent off in the 54th minute, leaving his team with nine men. Nathan Saliba then made it 4-0 in the 64th minute, before Mohamed Al-Manai scored an own goal in the 75th minute. Unstoppable, Jonathan David completed the rout in stoppage time (90+2), securing his hat-trick.
With this victory, Canada takes the lead in Group B with 4 points and a goal difference of +6, ahead of Switzerland (4 points, +3). The Canadians now have one foot and a half in the round of 32 and are moving closer to a historic qualification, which seems almost certain.
