The Qatar national football team lost to Canada with six clean goals in the FIFA World Cup 2026. Ismael Kone suffered a serious injury during the match, which resulted in him undergoing emergency surgery. The incident occurred in the 57th minute, while Canada was leading 3-0. Kone fell to the ground after a violent tackle by Qatari player Asim Madibo, prompting the medical team to rush to his aid. The Canadian Football Association issued an official statement reassuring fans about Kone's condition. Kone posted an emotional message on his Instagram account, saying: God has never failed me throughout my life, and even if it were just once, why should I doubt Him now? Especially since we know that He sees and knows everything before it happens, and He has a plan and vision for each of us. Kone added in his emotional post: This battle is a test of my faith and personality, and I am fully prepared for it, because God does not put us in a challenge that we cannot overcome, and the test is the best gift. I have been overwhelmed by your love and support, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and you cannot imagine how grateful I am to everyone who contacted me and mentioned me in their prayers. And I thank God for that, because not everyone is lucky to have this love. The Canadian team had previously satisfied their fans after a draw in the first round against Bosnia, to achieve a wide victory over Qatar with six clean goals. This violent tackle caused widespread anger among Canada's coach, Jesse Marsh, and the team's players, leading to a brawl and clashes between the two teams' benches, which repeated again after the final whistle was blown.
