00:00Here we go then, welcome to Vancouver.
00:03It is match day two in Group B as co-hosts Canada take on Qatar, both till injury.
00:13In the heart of defence.
00:20Well, here we go then.
00:23Qatar became just the second host nation to get knocked out in the group stage four years ago.
00:29Canada hoping to avoid becoming the third.
00:35Had numerous set pieces against Bosnia, they couldn't make any of them count.
00:39That one doesn't beat the first defender.
00:42They get another opportunity to line up the cross.
00:45There's a man over on the ball.
00:47The first shot on target.
00:55Here is their star man, Akram Afif, looking to try and make things happen.
00:59When he skips away from Cornelius and the Canadian defender brings him down.
01:03And that's going to be a set piece to Qatar and the highest blocking of the contest.
01:11Building up ahead of steam here though, perhaps Canada.
01:13Johnston towards the byline.
01:15He stands it up.
01:16The first time goal, he strikes it up in that way.
01:18And Akram Afif is in.
01:21And Karl Laring does it again.
01:24Qatar drop quite deep.
01:26The cross goes behind them.
01:29Great little movement behind to come round to the play spot.
01:32And Karl Laring reacts first.
01:35In fact, he's walking away from it.
01:43Deuter ball in.
01:45Half a Canada head and behind it goes.
02:00Clash of heads perhaps.
02:03Move to Fougerol.
02:08Buchanan from distance.
02:09Oh, it's deflected.
02:10Oh, how about that?
02:21That's not easy technique when it's coming over your shoulder.
02:24And you've got to swivel and you've got to hit it.
02:26He said it's so true.
02:27Great finish.
02:30Tidying up.
02:31Plays it forward.
02:34Kone.
02:35Over the top for Buchanan.
02:37Who is onside and in behind.
02:38Down he goes.
02:40Macifreous appeals for penalty.
02:42And the referee points to the spot.
02:50Tidying up.
02:51Plays it forward.
02:54Kone.
02:55Over the top for Buchanan.
02:56Who is onside and in behind.
02:58Down he goes.
03:00Macifreous appeals for penalty.
03:02And the referee points to the spot.
03:09It's a fantastic run between and behind.
03:12Defender gets the wrong side.
03:13Makes contact.
03:14Gives the referee no choice but to give a penalty.
03:28Wonderful run from Buchanan.
03:31Well, there's been six penalties in this World Cup.
03:34All six of them have been scored.
03:35The defender.
03:36The defender.
03:37VAR is checking.
03:39The defender.
03:40Number 14.
03:42Commit.
03:44Opportunity goal.
03:45Final decision is red card.
03:48Direct free kick.
03:51All tight derider.
03:52Free kick.
03:55So he's overturned the decision.
03:57It's a red.
04:01Let's take a look at this again then.
04:04That's really tight.
04:05It's really, really tight.
04:07It almost looks on the line which, you know, they would deem outside.
04:11Looks like it might be Ali but Cornelius is there.
04:16It is Ahmed Ali and it's over the bar.
04:23It's a better ball.
04:25Defuser all made contact.
04:27Cornelius is up from the back.
04:29The referee waves away those particular protests.
04:36Johnston stands it up.
04:37Looking for Lahren with the header.
04:39Brilliant save but it's Bender again.
04:41And it's Jonathan David again.
04:47Oh, Canada are cooking up something special.
04:51Gets the ball back.
04:54They compete for the first header.
04:55Keeper makes a save.
04:56And again, it's just following in with more desire to score a goal.
05:10Well, as far as house parties go,
05:13this is a pretty spectacular one for Canada.
05:18Well, there were eight shots on target for Canada in that first half.
05:22It's the most in a World Cup match since Romania against Argentina also on.
05:29And David has come out wide.
05:34That's a late challenge surely on Kone that's going to be a free kick.
05:39And the yellow card as well.
05:42This looks serious.
05:46The Qatar player is waving the medical team on.
05:49This doesn't look good.
05:54You can see the captain, Stefan Estecchio there looking on.
06:04Yeah, it was the nearest player definitely looked very concerned.
06:09The player with their hands on their heads.
06:11How do you get your players to regroup?
06:13I think you have to focus them back on task and now they're playing for a higher cause as well.
06:19You know, they're playing for a higher purpose.
06:21Obviously, there's the red card.
06:23The referee's determined a red card offence.
06:30It is Saliba.
06:32And in it goes.
06:36They are heading for their first ever win at the World Cup.
06:39And they are doing so in some style.
06:44You just see here, just whips it around the wall.
06:47Inch perfect, in off the post.
06:51It's the first direct free kick goal.
06:54More defending for those tired Qatari defenders.
07:00As the corner comes in.
07:03Buchanan scampers across.
07:10Johnson on the outside.
07:15Buchanan twisting and turning.
07:17Still not fully cleared.
07:18It's Schaffelberg across the face of goal.
07:20And it's fouled.
07:22It might be an own goal, that one.
07:24Head of the road care.
07:25There.
07:26Could have been set back.
07:27On this moment, it doesn't.
07:29Decides to cross it.
07:33And it's just a rash clearance.
07:35He swung as hard as he could with his right foot.
07:38It's come off the outside of his boot and got in his own goal.
07:42And the captain with the set piece.
07:47Schaffelberg.
07:49Drags that one wide.
07:53Saliba.
07:55Schaffelberg.
08:00So tempting to pull the trigger.
08:02He does.
08:03Flag stays down.
08:05It's a run of Kirkpatrick.
08:07And one side for Jonathan David.
08:13It's interesting because it's actually a shot.
08:16And he takes it on the turn so well and finishes it.
08:20Such a soft touch.
08:25Schaffelberg.
08:27Stands it up to walk to the far post.
08:28Abernada collects that one.
08:31Bombito.
08:42Pistachio.
08:53Sigour.
08:53Johnston on the overlap.
08:56Stands it up.
08:57Laren's there but it's too high for him.
09:14Canada secure their first ever win in a World Cup.
09:18Stands it up.
09:19Stands it up.
09:19Stands it up.
09:20Stands it up.
09:20Stands it up.
09:20Stands it up.
09:20Stands it up.
09:20Stands it up.
09:21Stands it up.
09:21Stands it up.
