The night of the 2026 World Cup delivers two major verdicts. Canada claim the first World Cup win in their history by crushing Qatar, while Mexico become the first team to qualify for the round of 32 thanks to their victory over South Korea. Jonathan David and Luis Romo were the standout stars, but the images destined to stick in the memory are also those of Ismaël Koné’s terrible injury and South Korean goalkeeper Kim Seung-Gyu’s shocking blunder.

A perfect evening, but only in part, for Jesse Marsch’s Canada. After their 1-1 draw in the opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Canadians thrashed Qatar 6-0 in front of the Vancouver crowd and earned the first World Cup win in their history. A result that sends them to the top of Group B and leaves them needing only a draw against Switzerland in the final matchday to qualify.
Leading the hosts was a rampant Jonathan David. The Juventus striker grabbed a hat-trick, reached 42 goals in 79 appearances for the national team, and moved level at the top of the tournament’s scoring charts. First he took part in the move for Cyle Larin’s 1-0, then he made it 2-0 with a right-footed volley, and in the second half he completed his show with two more goals. It was a historic night for him: he is only the second Juventus player to score a World Cup hat-trick after Paolo Rossi.
