Canada recorded their first-ever World Cup victory in stunning fashion, crushing Qatar 6–0 in a dominant performance from start to finish. The Canadians imposed their tempo early, pressing high and forcing Qatar into repeated defensive mistakes that led to a flurry of goals.

In the second half, Canada continued with the same intensity, adding more goals as Qatar’s defensive structure collapsed under relentless pressure. The win was not just three points — it was a statement of intent from a team that arrived with ambition and clarity.
