The Qatar national football team collapsed against Canada in the FIFA World Cup 2026. The team suffered a surprising defeat against the host team in the second round, after earning its first point in World Cup history by drawing with Switzerland in the opening round. Qatar set several negative records following the heavy defeat it suffered. According to the Opta statistics network, Qatar is the third team in World Cup history to concede at least 3 goals and have a player sent off in the first half, since accurate data collection began in 1966. The Qatar national team suffered this fate after what happened to Portugal against Germany in the 2014 edition, as well as the Democratic Republic of the Congo against Yugoslavia in 1974. In the 16th minute, Canada took the lead through its star player, Cyle Larin, who followed up a rebound from Qatari goalkeeper Mahmoud Abu Nada, before Juventus striker Jonathan David added the second goal with a rocket shot in the 29th minute. The troubles of the Qatar team did not stop at this point, as its player, Homam Amin, was sent off in the 33rd minute, after obstructing Cyle Larin, when he was on his way to face Abu Nada alone. And before the end of the first half, Jonathan David scored Canada's third goal in the 45+3 minute, from a follow-up on the goal line of a ball that rebounded from Abu Nada. After this goal, the situation became more difficult for the Qatar team, which was searching for its first win in World Cup history. But in the end, the team lost the match 6-0, which caused great disappointment among the team's fans. This defeat is a significant one for the Qatar team, which had hoped to achieve better results in the 2026 World Cup. The team will play its next match against a strong team, and it must find solutions to improve its performance if it wants to stay in the competition.
