⚠️ Graphic warning! Canada ace suffers horrific injury amid celebrations

⚠️ Graphic warning! Canada ace suffers horrific injury amid celebrations After failing to earn any points in 1986 and 2022 and opening the current FIFA World Cup with a draw, Canada is finally winning.  They are cruising to a 5-0 win over Qatar without difficulty at BC Place in Toronto.  The match is in its final stages. But the win is taking a back seat because of the serious injury suffered by number 8 Ismaël Koné. Larin (16') and Jonathan David (29' and 48') built a great lead even before halftime. Qatar also had Al Amim sent off in the 33rd minute. Then came the challenge between Koné and Qatari player Assim Omer Madibo in the 50th minute, early in the second half.  It ended with a fracture in the Sassuolo player's left leg. All of Canada's other players were furious with Madibo, who was left stunned when he realized the outcome of the challenge.  He was initially shown a yellow card and was later sent off by referee Cristián Garay. Koné left the pitch with his leg immobilized, heading to a hospital and thanking the fans for their support. 📸 Emilee Chinn - 2026 Getty Images There was a brief huddle among the Canada players before play resumed, with many visibly emotional. With a two-man advantage, the expected rout came after Nathan Saliba scored the first free-kick goal of this World Cup (64'). It also came with a tribute to Koné. 📸 Fran Santiago - 2026 Getty Images The fifth came after a shot from Shaffelburg that Al Mannai tried to cut out, but instead turned into his own net (75').  📊  Standings situation Canada now has the same four points as Switzerland.
