VANCOUVER — It was a sound the Canadian men’s national team knew too well—a sharp snap.
That sound stood out more than the roar of the 52,497 fans across BC Place as Canada made history with a 6–0 win over Qatar, the co-host’s first-ever win at the World Cup. It was the sound of star midfielder Ismaël Koné’s bone breaking, the audio joined by a camera shot of the 22-year-old’s lower leg dangling in an unnatural position.
