Canada\u2019s 6-0 thrashing of Qatar in its second FIFA World Cup<\/a> match would\u2019ve been perfect on Thursday afternoon if not for an injury to Isma\u00ebl Kon\u00e9 that can only be described as horrifying.<\/p>\n

Kon\u00e9 was carted off the field after a brutal tackle by Qatar\u2019s Assim Madibo in the second half, which led to immediate displeasure from the Canadian players and coaches on the sideline. The tackle came from behind, and it was clear that Kon\u00e9 suffered something very serious.<\/p>\n

As players huddled around Kon\u00e9, replay showed the poor tackle by Madibo, with the Canadian’s left leg bent<\/a> at an angle not for the faint of heart.<\/p>\n

Kon\u00e9 was in straight shock when the injury occurred, holding his leg at first and then placing his hands on his head.<\/p>\n

After VAR review, referees upgraded Madibo\u2019s foul to a red card, which marked the second for Qatar in the match after Homan Ahmed received one in the 33rd minute.<\/p>\n

Madibo, though, did have his hands on his head, clearly distressed after seeing what occurred to Kon\u00e9 as players, coaches and medical staff surrounded the 24-year-old on the pitch.<\/p>\n

A round of applause from the home country\u2019s fans at BC Place in Vancouver poured down from the stands, as Kon\u00e9 was stretchered off the field. Based on the appearance of the injury, it\u2019s more than likely his World Cup appearance for Canada has ended prematurely.<\/p>\n

Nathan Saliba came in for Kon\u00e9 in the 57th minute, and he scored just seven minutes later. As a celebration, he raised Kon\u00e9\u2019s jersey to the loud roar of the fans, as the score moved to 4-0. Mohammed Manai knocked an own goal in during the 75th minute to add insult to injury for Qatar, but Canada\u2019s takeover started with the man-advantage in the first half.<\/p>\n

Jonathan David had a hat trick in this match, scoring in the 29th minute and stoppage time before the first half closed. Then, he scored in stoppage time again, this time in the 92nd minute to cap a fun afternoon aside from Kon\u00e9\u2019s injury.<\/p>\n

Cyle Larin got the party started for Canada with a goal in the 16th minute as well.<\/p>\n

After tying its first match against Bosnia and Herzegovina<\/a>, this 6-0 domination was the country\u2019s first-ever World Cup victory, which also earned them the top slot in Group B.<\/p>\n

Switzerland\u2019s 4-1 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina on Thursday also gave them four points, with both teams determining who will win the group on June 24.<\/p>\n
