In a stunning performance, Canada triumphed over Qatar with a commanding 6-0 victory on Thursday at BC Place Stadium, marking a significant moment in the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Canadian team opened the scoring in the 16th minute when Kyle Larin capitalized on a defensive lapse, tapping in from inside the box as the Qatari goalkeeper struggled to make the save.

Canada extended its lead in the 29th minute with a powerful strike from Jonathan David, whose shot found the left corner of the net, leaving the Qatari keeper with no chance.

As the first half drew to a close, Canada added a third goal in stoppage time, again through Jonathan David, solidifying their dominance with a comfortable 3-0 lead at halftime.

The second half continued to favor Canada, with Nathan Saliba scoring the fourth goal in the 64th minute via a stunning free kick that hit the left post before settling into the net.

Canada’s fifth goal came from an unfortunate own goal by Qatar’s defender after a powerful shot from Tajon Buchanan that was misdirected into his own net.
