One of the heaviest and saddest scenes of this FIFA World Cup came during Canada’s historic rout of Qatar this Thursday (18). Ismaël Koné suffered a serious injury in a challenge with Qatari player Assim Omer Madibo in the final stage of the match in Toronto. After the end of the match, there was a meeting between the Canadian players and the coaching staff and, later, a brief scuffle with Qatari players. Canada became the first national team from outside South America and Europe to score five or more goals in World Cups. And a player from a World Cup host nation had not scored three goals in the same match since England's Geoff Hurst at the 1966 World Cup. An achievement reached by Jonathan David. He also became the first Juventus player to score a hat-trick at a World Cup since Paolo Rossi was Brazil's tormentor in 1982. He now has 42 goals in 79 matches for the Canadian national team. He is the top scorer.
