The Canadian national team has set a historic milestone at the World Cup.
Details: The Canadians became the first team from outside Europe and South America to score five or more goals in a single World Cup match.
According to Opta, no national team from outside the two main football continents had ever accomplished such a feat at the world championship before.
Canada delivered a powerful performance, completely dominating their opponent and turning the game into a genuine blowout.
This achievement is yet another testament to the progress of the Canadian squad, which continues to make headlines at the 2026 World Cup.
Reminder: Earlier, we reported that Canada registered eight shots on target against Qatar before halftime — the best first-half tally at a World Cup in over 30 years.
