Jonathan David Hat-Trick Sparks Canada’s First World Cup Win in 6-0 Rout of Qatar

Jonathan David delivered a stunning hat-trick as Canada recorded its maiden victory on football’s biggest stage. The Lille forward struck in the 29th minute, deep into stoppage time and again in added time to complete his treble. Cyle Larin opened the scoring in the 16th minute before David doubled the lead. A red card for Qatar’s Assim Madibo early in the second half left the Asian side down to ten men, and Canada capitalised through a Nathan Saliba free-kick and an own goal. The dominant Group B display leaves Canada in a strong position to advance to the knockout rounds, while Qatar face pressure to recover in their final group game.
