Only one player had scored against him; Jonathan David enters the history books after 96 years

Canada secured its first World Cup victory with a comprehensive 6-0 win against Qatar in Vancouver. The performance was significantly bolstered by Jonathan David, who emerged as the standout player of the match. The 26-year-old striker, who plays for Juventus, responded to prior criticisms by scoring a hat-trick, marking a historic achievement for the player.

David’s impressive display began with his first World Cup goal, a spectacular volley. His second goal followed a quick reaction within the penalty area. He concluded his hat-trick with the third goal, which was scored after excellent movement and a composed finish.

With this performance, David joined an elite group, becoming only the second player from the CONCACAF zone to achieve a World Cup hat-trick. The first individual from the region to accomplish this feat was American Bert Patenaude, who scored such a hat-trick during the 1930 World Cup. David’s three goals not only marked a major victory for Canada but also etched his name into World Cup history.
