ShareWith a raucous home crowd behind them, Canada finally got their first World Cup win on the board, emphatically brushing aside Qatar.Jonathan David scored a hat-trick as Canada earned their first-ever World Cup win in rampant style, brushing aside nine-man Qatar 6-0.Cyle Larin and Nathan Saliba also got on the scoresheet in a brilliant performance at BC Place that sends them top of Group B with one game to play, with Homam El Amin and Assim Madibo both sent off for Julen Lopetegui's side.It was total dominance by Canada, with David seeing a volley parried early on before he played his part in the 16th-minute opener. He sent another volley straight at Mahmoud Abunada, but this time, the goalkeeper spilled it into a dangerous area, and Larin pounced to get his second goal of the tournament.Canada doubled their lead just before the half-hour mark, with David putting his laces through Tajon Buchanan's blocked shot to pick out the bottom-right corner.Qatar's first red card came just moments later; Canada were initially awarded a penalty for El Amin's clumsy challenge on Buchanan, but replays showed contact was outside the box, so he was shown a straight red card for denying a goalscoring opportunity.Akram Afif was then on the line to keep out Buchanan's scuffed effort, but the co-hosts got their third on the stroke of half-time, with David reacting quickest to turn in Larin's saved header.The only blip on a historic day for Canada came five minutes into the second half as Madibo caught Ismael Kone awkwardly from behind. The Sassuolo midfielder seemingly suffered a broken leg, which led to Madibo's red card.Kone waved to fans as he was stretchered off, and his replacement, Nathan Saliba, then whipped a stunning free-kick around the Qatar wall and in off the right post 64 minutes in.Canada's perfect day in Vancouver got better in the 75th minute as Jacob Schaffelburg's off-balance effort was swiped into the net by the unfortunate Mohammed Al Manai.But it was David who had the final say in the 92nd minute. Saliba fizzed a throughball into David's feet, and he swivelled to plant his hat-trick goal beyond a helpless Abunada, becoming the second player to score a treble this tournament after Lionel Messi.Canada hit new heights in VancouverCanada enjoy playing in Vancouver, so it should be no surprise they got their first World Cup win there; they have now won their last five matches played in the city, scoring 23 goals and conceding only two.This is their eighth World Cup match, and they finally broke their duck, doing so in style. Having never before scored more than once in a game, they are now the first Concacaf nation to score six or more goals in a single outing.Larin got the goalscoring started, becoming the first Canadian player to score multiple career goals in the World Cup, and the first Concacaf player to score in consecutive matches since Clint Dempsey in 2014 for the United States against Ghana and Portugal.Qatar's two red cards means there have already been more sendings-off at this World Cup (six) than across the whole of the 2022 tournament, which they hosted.So Canada's dominance is perhaps no real surprise; their eight shots on target were the most in the first half of a World Cup match since Romania in 1994 v Argentina (also eight).Overall, they finished with 33 attempts (10 on target), worth 4.46 expected goals (xG), and they head into their final match against Switzerland high on confidence, with the pair set to fight it out for top spot, while Qatar's chances of making the round of 32 take a major blow.With a raucous home crowd behind them, Canada finally got their first World Cup win on the board, emphatically brushing aside Qatar.Jonathan David scored a hat-trick as Canada earned their first-ever World Cup win in rampant style, brushing aside nine-man Qatar 6-0.Cyle Larin and Nathan Saliba also got on the scoresheet in a brilliant performance at BC Place that sends them top of Group B with one game to play, with Homam El Amin and Assim Madibo both sent off for Julen Lopetegui's side.It was total dominance by Canada, with David seeing a volley parried early on before he played his part in the 16th-minute opener.
