Canada set several records after defeating Qatar at the 2026 World Cup

The Canadian national team in the match of the second round of the group stage of the WC-2026 (6:0). Thus, Canada became the first team from outside Europe or South America to score five or more goals in one World Cup match. In addition, Jesse Marsh's wards scored exactly eight times on the Qatari goal in the first 45 minutes of the match, which is a repetition of the 1994 record. Before that, only the Romanian national team could boast of such an achievement, which scored eight shots on the face of Argentina's goal in the first half. Canada also made 97 touches of the ball in the opponent's penalty area, which is 26 more than the previous record holder - the German national team in 2022 against Costa Rica. In the final match, Canada will play against Switzerland, with whom they share the top spot in Group B with four points each. The game is scheduled for June 24. Available for viewing on media.
