David Hat-Trick as Canada Record Historic 6–0 World Cup Win

Canada defeated Qatar 6–0 at BC Place Vancouver for their first FIFA World Cup victory. Cyle Larin opened the scoring in the 16th minute, Jonathan David added a stunning volley and stabbed home before half-time after Homam Elamin was sent off, and the striker completed his hat-trick in stoppage time after Nathan Saliba's free-kick and a Mohamed Al Mannai own goal had made it 5–0.

Qatar finished with nine men when Assim Madibo was shown a straight red for a challenge that left Ismaël Koné with a serious leg injury. David was named Michelob Ultra Superior Player of the Match as Canada finished with 79% possession, 32 shots and ten on target in front of a sell-out crowd of 52,497.

Canada move level with Switzerland on four points at the top of Group B, ahead on goal difference. Jesse Marsch's co-hosts face the Swiss in Vancouver on 24 June, while Qatar meet Bosnia and Herzegovina in Seattle on the same day.
