Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Canada and Qatar is underway.
  • 5' Canada are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Qatar backline.
  • 9' Derek Cornelius picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 14' It looks surprising Canada does not make any changes. Edmilson has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 16' Cyle Larin has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 16 minutes.
  • 21' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 26' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 29' Jonathan David does the damage! The net is bulging and Canada surge ahead!
  • 32' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Homam Ahmed.
  • 37' Richie Laryea needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 36 Yellow cards this season.
  • 40' Fresh legs for Qatar! Sultan Al Brake comes on to replace Yusuf Abdurisag.
  • 45' With 0 assists to his name this season, Ayoub Al-Oui is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Qatar.
  • 46' Time for substitution for Canada. Derek Cornelius is replaced by Moise Bombito.
  • 48' What a strike from Jonathan David! The score is 3-0.
  • 51' Assim Madibo is having his name booked by the referee on 51.
  • 56' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Canada and Qatar are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 57' Canada make a change. Ismael Kone trudges off to be replaced by Nathan-Dylan Saliba on 57 minutes.
  • 59' The Qatar bench stirs into life. Akram Afif is withdrawn and Hashemi Al Hussain gets his opportunity.
  • 62' A moment of madness from Ahmed Fathy on 62 minutes earns him a card. Qatar will be frustrated.
  • 64' Nathan-Dylan Saliba doubles the advantage! 4-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 69' Akram Afif has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 71' The crowd applauds Luc De Fougerolles as he leaves the pitch. Jacob Shaffelburg steps in for Canada.
  • 75' Mohamed Al-Mannai does the damage! The net is bulging and Qatar surge ahead!
  • 80' Over 80 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 83' It is a substitution in Canada team. Tajon Buchanan is replaced by Niko Sigur on 83 minute.
  • 87' The supporters are chanting for Lucas Mendes. He replaces Ahmed Fathy on 87 minute.
  • The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from Canada to claim maximum points.
