Following the match, Canadian players convened with their coaching staff, which subsequently led to a brief altercation with Qatari players.
Canada made history as the first national team from outside South America and Europe to score five or more goals in a World Cup.
Additionally, a player from a World Cup host nation hadn’t scored three goals in a single match since Geoff Hurst of England during the 1966 World Cup.
This remarkable feat was accomplished by Jonathan David.
Moreover, he became the first player from Juventus to achieve a hat-trick in a World Cup since Paolo Rossi infamously did it against Brazil in 1982.
