Canada showcased an unrelenting, dominant display to defeat Qatar 6‑0 in their Group B encounter on Thursday, seizing total control following a chaotic second half where Qatar collapsed both structurally and numerically.
Jonathan David spearheaded the attack with a hat‑trick, exploiting Qatar’s defensive lapses and poor marking—for example, capitalising on a rebound to squeeze in the sixth goal. His intelligent movement and clinical finishing inside the box turned Canada’s dominance into points.
The turning point arrived when Qatar were reduced to ten and later nine players after a straight‑red card and a VAR review. From that instant, the game opened up, with Jesse Marsch’s side using the added space to press high and dictate the tempo.
Cyle Larin also added to the tally, and Nathan Saliba made an immediate impact from the bench, scoring a spectacular free‑kick and delivering an assist, underscoring Canada’s depth and fluid attack. An own goal by Mohammad Al Mannai further widened Qatar’s deficit in a one‑sided affair that Canada governed from beginning to end.
