Canada thrashed Qatar 6-0 in a chaotic FIFA World Cup 2026 Group B clash in Vancouver, but the dominant victory was overshadowed by ugly scenes after the final whistle. Tempers erupted following a series of heavy challenges, culminating in a mass confrontation between players from both sides. Canada’s Ismael Kone suffered a serious lower-leg injury after a tackle from Qatar’s Assim Madibo, who received a red card. Homam Ahmed had earlier been sent off, reducing Qatar to nine men. Jonathan David starred with a hat-trick, while Cyle Larin and Nathan Saliba also scored as Canada moved close to the knockout stage. Coaches Jesse Marsch and Julen Lopetegui exchanged heated words.
