VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) --- Jonathan David scored three goals and
Canada won its first World Cup match while all but securing a spot in the
knockout round with a 6-0 victory over Qatar on Thursday.
Qatar was reduced to nine players because of red cards in the chaotic match.
Homan Ahmed was sent off in the first half for a challenge on Tajon Buchanan
and Assim Madibo was handed a red early in the second half after a tackle on
Ismal Kon, who was stretched off with a serious injury to his lower left leg.
Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney attended the match after missing the team's
opener in Toronto last week because of the G7 summit in France. He sat with
FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
