Jonathan David’s hat trick propels Canada to its first World Cup win, 6-0 over Qatar

The Vancouver crowd opened with a rousing rendition of O Canada, forging the proverbial 12th-man atmosphere that Marsch ordered up entering the match.

The CanMNT have only qualified for three World Cups (1986, 2022, '26) and earned their first-ever point by drawing with Bosnia-Herzegovina on June 12.

A Jonathan David hat-trick, one apiece from Cyle Larin and Nathan Saliba, as well as a Qatar own goal, sealed a momentous victory for the Canadians at the BC Place Stadium on Thursday.

Harrowing scenes unfolded as Canada star Ismael Kone was stretchered off the pitch with what appeared to be a broken leg during his nation's clash with Qatar.
