Horror scenes unfolded at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver when Canada's Ismaël Koné suffered a leg injury on home soil. Qatar's Assim Omer Madibo was shown a red card after kicking an opponent.
Koné was carried off on a stretcher, but no replay of the incident was shown - a common practice with visibly nasty injuries. By then, Canada already had a 3–0 lead. When teammate Nathan Saliba extended the lead further, he lifted Koné's jersey into the air.
Canada won 6–0.
