Jonathan David HAT-TRICK! Canada 6-0 Qatar | 2026 World Cup EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS
Canada thrash Qatar 6-0 at home as Jonathan David hits a hat-trick
The highlights show Canada beating Qatar 6-0 in Vancouver, with Jonathan David scoring a hat-trick. The commentary focuses on the overturned penalty, Kone's injury, the match turning ill-tempered and Qatar's own goal, framing Canada as emphatic winners and Qatar as increasingly ragged.
- Qatar still had a route back into the game because one goal could swing the momentum — The commentator asked how Qatar could respond and stressed that a single goal could turn the match in their favour.
- The penalty being changed to a free kick outside the box was understandable, but the contact was so close to the line that it was very hard for the officials — Replays showed the contact almost on the line, with the decision hinging on whether it was outside the area.
- The challenge on Kone looked serious and VAR might upgrade it to a red card for Qatar — Kone went down and called for the medical team, Canada's players held their heads, and the commentator said it did not look good while VAR checked for a red.
- The match was boiling over because players were getting frustrated by repeated late tackles, and the yellow card was justified — The tackler made no contact with the ball and caught the player, with late challenges continuing to pile up.
- It was a superb free kick that curled around the wall and went in off the post, the first direct free-kick goal of the World Cup — The commentator described it as inch-perfect and noted it was the tournament's first direct free-kick goal.
- Qatar's own goal came from a rushed, rash clearance and their day went from bad to worse — The commentator said the defender swung hard with his right foot and the ball came off the outside of his boot into his own net.

Well, Vancouver is vocal. A sea of red greeting the two sets of players. Very few get to live the dream of playing at a home World Cup. Qatar's players did so four years ago. Today though, they are very much on enemy territory. Neither side has won at a World Cup finals before. One group of players potentially just 90 minutes away from creating history for their nation. And Casey Stony is the job for Qatar in the opening few minutes to try and silence the home supporters. But they're coming forward early on. And it's a lovely teasing cross towards the far post and he couldn't make clean contact. A surging run from home arm Akmed down the left hand side. Opportunity to line up the cross. There's a man over on the volley. The first shot on target and a save from >> Jonathan David just waiting. Gets a good contact but the keeper gets down to his right and makes a good save. [cheering] >> Again, it's not the best ball. Building up ahead of steam here though perhaps Canada. Johnston towards the by line. He stands it up. The first time [cheering] he does it again. [cheering] Canada have liftoff at their home World Cup. Kyle Laren who came off the bench to get the equalizer against Bosnia has got the opener against Qatar. They've taken the free kick quickly and Buchanan cuts back infield. Kone [cheering] Cornelius moved to Fujer [cheering] Buchanan from distance. OH, IT'S DEFLECTED KINDLY. [cheering and screaming] OH, HOW about that? [cheering] JONATHAN DAVID. WHO ELSE FOR CANADA? A FIRST time glory and Canada now surely in the Casper history as they go IN SEARCH OF THEIR FIRST C World Cup win. They're two goals to the good. >> How do they get back in the game? Cuz one goal can change this game back into their favor again. A thief trying to make something happen for Katar. Stake [cheering] tidying up. Plays it forward. Kone over the top for Buchanan who is onside and in behind. [cheering] Down he goes. Viferous appeals for a penalty and the referee points to [cheering] the spot. It's a fantastic run between and behind. Defender gets the wrong side, makes contact, gives the referee no choice but to give a penalty. >> Well, there's been six penalties in this World Cup. All six of them have been scored. >> V is checking. >> Number 14 decision is red. Oh, free kick. >> So, he's overturned the decision. It's a red. >> He must have decided the contact died outside the box. >> Well, if you're Katar, would you rather have the penalty or the red card? >> Let's take a look at this again, then. >> That's really tight. It's really, really tight. He almost looks on the line which you know they would deem outside. Um so really difficult for the officials in that situation. >> It is Akmed Ali and it's over the bar. Cornelius Laarea IN BEHIND ACROSS THE FACE OF GOAL. SURELY a simple TAP AND CLEARED [cheering] OFF THE LINE BY A THIEF. That's so unfortunate. Buchanan's just falling over as it the ball arrives. He can't get a good contact. [cheering] Here is a change for Katar. Sultan alre is coming on. It's the center forward Yousef Abdisak who's withdrawn. being replaced by the marine. >> It's a better ball. Deferol made contact. Cornelius is up from the back. The referee [cheering] waves away those particular protests. >> Well, the Canada players are certain something happened in the box there. >> Cornelius is still down in the box. V will be taking a look. Well, V already heavily involved in this match. Those appeals waved away. [cheering] Johnston stands it up looking FOR LEN WITH THE HEADER. BRILLIANT SAVE, BUT IT'S BUNDLED [cheering] IN AND IT'S JONATHAN David again. [cheering] >> OH, CANADA ARE COOKING UP SOMETHING SPECIAL. 3-0 and it's not even hal time. [cheering] >> [cheering] >> Buchanan. Look at this football. Johnson across the face of goal. Aardada called into action once again to Defu. Jonathan David has come out wide. That's a late challenge surely on Kone. That's going to be a free kick. Um the Qatar player is waving the medical team on. This doesn't look good. >> And it's boiling over. Canada not happy with the challenge. >> And you can see the Canada players with the hands on their heads. Same as the Qatar player that called medical attention that something is seriously wrong. >> V is checking to see if it's uh worthy of being upgraded to a red >> which would put Katar down to nine. Asam Medivo is off as well. >> Well, we can only hope it is perhaps not as serious as it looks. [cheering] >> Nathan Civa who has come on to replace Kone. Play back underway. >> Buchanan twisting and turning. They've taken it quickly and they've taken it short. Shot from distance way off target. And there was another late challenge there. And it's another free kick. And it's another yellow card. Again, it's starting to boil over. I think the players are getting a little bit frustrated at the late tackles. And again, he makes no contact with the ball there. Full contact on the player. [cheering] IT IS SELIVA. AND HERE IT GOES. Even the substitutes are getting in on the act now >> and they are doing so in some style. [cheering] >> Yeah, the celebrations are obviously a little bit muted because of the injury to Kone as they hold up his shirt. It's a fantastic free kick. >> You just see here just whips it around the wall. Inch perfect in off the post. It's the first direct free kick goal >> of this World Cup. Buchanan. Johnson on the out outside. Buchanan twisting and turning. Still not fully cleared. Shuffle across the face of goal and it's five. It might be an over that [cheering] one. CANADA WON'T CARE. THEY ARE RUNNING RIOT. >> Five of the best in Vancouver. And Qatar's day just gone from bad to worse. And it's just a rash clearance. He swung as hard as he could with his right foot. It's come off the outside of his boot and got in his own goal. >> Munai it is with the final touch. [cheering] Celiba Shelberg. Celiba. So tempting to pull the trigger. He does. Flag stays down. It's a World Cup HAT TRICK ON HOME SOIL FOR JONATHAN DAVID. CANADA'S ALLTIME LEADING SCORER GETS HIS THIRD in stoppage time. And Canada make it six. [cheering] Canada secure their first ever win in a World Cup [cheering] and they do so emphatically at the expense of Qatar. It means that Canada need just one point from the final game to top the group. It's finished in Vancouver. Canada six katan nil.
