Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Qatar kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Canada looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Jonathan David scoring 3 goals.
- 9' That looks like a foul for a card for Derek Cornelius.
- 14' It looks like no one’s ball. Qatar is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 16' What a strike from Cyle Larin! The score is 1-0.
- 21' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tajon Buchanan, as he is very good at scoring at BC Place with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 26' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Qatar needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 29' What a strike from Jonathan David! The score is 2-0.
- 32' Homam Ahmed is having his name booked by the referee on 32.
- 37' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 40' The supporters are chanting for Sultan Al Brake. He replaces Yusuf Abdurisag on 40 minute.
- 45' Canada is showing some good football. However, Canada are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 46' The Canada manager makes a substitution. Derek Cornelius departs to be replaced by Moise Bombito.
- 48' Goal! Jonathan David scores his 155 goal in 299 matches.
- 51' Qatar player sees a card in front of him.
- 56' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 56 minutes.
- 57' The whistle greets Ismael Kone as he departs to be replaced by Nathan-Dylan Saliba.
- 59' The whistle greets Akram Afif as he departs to be replaced by Hashemi Al Hussain.
- 62' Qatar receives a card for a hard tackle on 62.
- 64' Goal! Nathan-Dylan Saliba scores his 4 goal in 279 matches.
- 69' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Canada winning 100% of all matches.
- 71' Another substitution for Canada to replace Luc De Fougerolles by Jacob Shaffelburg on 71 minute.
- 75' Goal! Mohamed Al-Mannai scores his 1 goal in 8 matches.
- 80' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Qatar that had 8 games and scored 5 goals.
- 83' Niko Sigur has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tajon Buchanan on 83 minute.
- 87' Lucas Mendes is replacing Ahmed Fathy for the Qatar side.
- Full Time. Canada beats Qatar
