Canada striker Jonathan David has made history at the World Cup by becoming only the third player from a CONCACAF nation to score multiple goals in the first half of a match.
Details: David achieved this milestone during a match against Qatar, where he netted two goals before halftime. This accomplishment places him alongside Folarin Balogun, who scored twice in 2026, and Bert Patenaude, who first achieved this feat in 1930, according to Opta.
This remarkable achievement underscores David’s exceptional form and highlights the strength of Canada’s attacking lineup during the ongoing World Cup 2026.
