📝 2026 World Cup, overnight round-up
📝 2026 World Cup, overnight round-up Every morning, OneFootball will bring you a full recap of the night at the World Cup. The must-see story of the night If Canada thought it was in for a night of joy after claiming its first-ever World Cup win against Qatar (6-0) thanks to Jonathan David’s hat-trick, a horrifying image came and spoiled the celebrations. Following an incomprehensible and dangerous tackle by Assim Madibo, former OM midfielder Ismaël Koné collapsed to the ground with his leg bent at an unnatural angle. He was stretchered off, and the news is not good. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Canadian has suffered a tibia and fibula fracture and has already been ruled out for the rest of the tournament and could miss 4 to 5 months of action. " It happened right in front of us and we all heard the bone break ," his coach Jesse Marsch also explained to The Athletic. It should be noted that Qatar’s Assi Madibo went to the Canadian dressing room after the match to apologize for his awful tackle, which shocked many observers. 📸 Emilee Chinn - 2026 Getty Images The night’s results Canada 6-0 Qatar.

It’s simple: by scoring a hat-trick, the Juventus striker gave Canada its first-ever World Cup win and all but sealed its place in the round of 16. At the same time, he becomes Canada’s all-time top scorer at the World Cup and only the second player in CONCACAF history to score a World Cup hat-trick. His teammate Nathan-Dylan Saliba was also hugely valuable, with plenty of touches and, above all, an ability to change the tempo of the match, rewarded with a goal and an assist. Finally, South Korean goalkeeper Seung-gyu Kim gave us the first big goalkeeping blunder of this World Cup. The Korean keeper mistimed his rush and spilled the ball in his own box, handing Mexico the opener and the win. 📸 ULISES RUIZ - AFP or licensors Today’s schedule and the upcoming night 21:00: United States vs Australia (Group D) 00:00: Scotland vs Marco (Group C) 02:30: Brazil vs Haiti (Group C) 05:00: Turkey vs Paraguay (Group D) The player to watch After scoring in Brazil’s very difficult opening match against Morocco, Vinicius Junior now has to show that he is the attacking leader this team needs. Without a world-class focal-point striker, all eyes are on the Real Madrid star, who could take even more confidence from the match against modest Haiti at the start of this World Cup. 📸 Dan Mullan - 2026 Getty Images This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
