Canada 6–0 Qatar, Koné breaks leg in World Cup rout
Qatar's World Cup is unravelling. Canada ran through your team on Saturday and the scoreboard tells the whole story, Canada 6–0 Qatar (1).
Six goals, zero answers
No softening this. Qatar conceded six and scored none. The scoreline is the story. Canada were relentless and your team had no response. The tournament narrative around Asian sides showing resilience does not survive a night like this.
Koné broke his leg, Canada made him a hero
Ismaël Koné suffered a broken leg in the match against Qatar and has since undergone surgery. His Canada teammates welcomed him back to camp on crutches, and the images are striking, Koné smiling, the squad rallying around him (1) (3) (4). For Canada, a horrific injury became fuel. Koné was received like a hero.
