The start of the second half was painful for the Qatari side as they were dealt a further blow in the 54th minute when Hamam Al-Amin was sent off in the 33rd minute, with their player Assem Madibo also receiving a straight red card after a fierce tackle on Canadian player Ismail Kone, who was sent off by fans on a stretcher.
Kone’s injury was serious as his leg appeared to be broken, while the Canadian players put their hands over their heads and initially tried to tackle Madibo.
However, the Qatari player expressed his great impact on Kone’s injury, which made the opposition players sympathize with him and comfort him as he left the field.
In the 64th minute, Nathan Saliba, who replaced the injured Ismail Kone, scored the Canadians’ fourth goal from a direct free kick.
Immediately after scoring, Saliba celebrated by holding up Kone’s shirt in solidarity with his injured team-mate, who had replaced him just minutes earlier, in a scene that was widely praised on social media.
