Canada Breaks 32-Year World Cup Record in 6-0 Rout of Qatar
Canada climbed to the top of Group B at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a stunning 6-0 victory over fellow co-hosts Qatar. After a 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada needed a win to boost their knockout hopes. They matched a first-half shots-on-target record—eight before the break—not seen since Romania vs. Argentina in 1994. Though they scored only once in the opening half, Canada turned on the heat after the interval, adding five more goals to dominate the 2022 hosts. Jonathan David netted a hat-trick to become the tournament’s second player to achieve that feat after Lionel Messi. Cyle Larin, Nathan Saliba and an own goal completed the six-goal rout.
