📝 2026 World Cup, overnight round-up | OneFootball

Every morning, OneFootball will bring you a full recap of the night's action at the World Cup.

The must-see moment of the night

If Canada thought it was in for a night of joy after claiming its first-ever World Cup win against Qatar (6-0) thanks to Jonathan David’s hat-trick, a horrific image came and spoiled the party.

Following an incomprehensible and dangerous tackle from Assim Madibo, former OM midfielder Ismaël Koné collapsed to the ground with his leg bent at an unnatural angle. He was stretchered off, and the news is not good.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Canadian has suffered a tibia and fibula fracture, is already ruled out for the rest of the tournament, and could miss 4 to 5 months of action.

"It happened right in front of us and we all heard the bone break," his coach Jesse Marsch told The Athletic.

It should be noted that Qatari player Assi Madibo went to the Canadian dressing room after the match to apologize for his awful tackle, which shocked many observers.

The 3 players who stood out (or didn’t)

How could we talk about anyone other than Jonathan David? It’s simple: by scoring a hat-trick, the Juventus striker helped Canada secure its first-ever World Cup win and all but confirm its place in the round of 16.

At the same time, he became Canada’s all-time top scorer at the World Cup and only the second player in CONCACAF history to score a hat-trick at the tournament.

His teammate Nathan-Dylan Saliba was also hugely valuable, with plenty of touches on the ball and, above all, an ability to change the tempo of the match that was rewarded with a goal and an assist.

Finally, South Korea goalkeeper Seung-gyu Kim gave us the first major goalkeeping blunder of this World Cup. The Korean keeper mistimed his run off the line and spilled the ball in his own box, handing Mexico the opener and the win.

Today’s schedule and the upcoming night’s matches

21:00: United States vs Australia (Group D)

00:00: Scotland vs Morocco (Group C)

02:30: Brazil vs Haiti (Group C)

05:00: Turkey vs Paraguay (Group D)

The player to watch

After scoring in Brazil’s very difficult opening match against Morocco, Vinicius Junior now has to show that he is the attacking leader this team needs.

Without a world-class out-and-out striker, all eyes are on the Real Madrid star, who could use the match against modest Haiti to build even more confidence at the start of this World Cup.
