Red cards and poor defense send Qatar to its worst World Cup loss, a 6-0 embarrassment vs. Canada

Qatar’s World Cup defeat to Canada on Thursday went so awry that goalkeeper Mahmoud Abunada appeared to break down in tears after the final whistle, receiving comfort from a teammate and Canada’s Jacob Schaffelburg. “It was a tough match, because everything that could go wrong, did go wrong,” coach Julen Lopetegui said. Qatar played two men down for most of the second half after a pair of red cards and went on to lose 6-0, the worst defeat in the Persian Gulf country's short World Cup history.
