Jonathan David bagged a hat-trick as Canada demolished nine-man Qatar 6-0 on Thursday (June 18, 2026) to secure their first win at a World Cup finals and lift the co-hosts ahead of Switzerland at the top of Group B.
Qatar were reduced to 10 men in the 34th minute when Homam Ahmed was sent off for a foul on Tajon Buchanan that originally led to a penalty being awarded until a review determined the challenge was just outside the area. Canada joined Switzerland on four points through two matches but lead Group B on goal difference.
