2026 World Cup: Canada humiliates Qatar in a historic evening
As part of the second round of Group B in the 2026 World Cup, the host Canada recorded a crushing and one-sided 6-0 victory over the Qatar national team. According to Varzesh3 reports, the match turned into a "humiliating defeat" for the Asian champions, as the Canadian star Jonathan David starred with a historic hat-trick – the first for a host nation player since 1966.
Reports indicate a murky atmosphere on the field. According to the Football 360 network, the Qataris displayed poor performance and suffered from ejections, with their coach, Julen Lopetegui, quoted in Akharin Khabar Varzeshi as admitting that "the red card and the third goal sealed the fate of the match." Similarly, in an Iran International broadcast it was emphasized that this is Canada's first-ever victory in World Cup history.
The event was accompanied by physical and verbal tension. According to accounts in Akharin Khabar, a violent confrontation developed between the teams' players and coaching staff immediately upon the final whistle. The Canadian crowd in Vancouver enjoyed rare celebrations, while in Varzesh3 it was noted that the match left the Qataris stunned, without a single shot on target for long minutes.
In parallel to Canada's success, it was reported in the IRNA news agency that FIFA chose Jonathan David as the Man of the Match. Concurrent with the drama in Group B, other matches in the tournament continued, as seen from the coverage of SNN agency on the meeting between Mexico and South Korea.
