A 96-year wait. One name. Jonathan David just rewrote World Cup history books that hadn’t been touched since before World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan David ended a 96-year wait for a CONCACAF player to score a hat trick at a World Cup, with the last one being the USA’s Bert Patenaude in the 1930 World Cup. malaymail<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let that sink in. The last time someone from this region did what David just did, the World Cup itself was only in its first edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the Hat Trick Unfolded<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It came as part of Canada’s historic 6-0 demolition of Qatar. David doubled the lead with a right-footed volley in the 29th, for his first goal in the run of play in more than a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second goal came right before half time. Canada made it 3-0 in first-half stoppage time when David scored in a scramble in front of the net off a shot that caromed off the crossbar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hat trick was sealed late. David struck in the 29th minute, first-half stoppage time (45+3), and again in the 90+2 minute to complete a memorable treble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three goals. One player. A record that stood since 1930.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This wasn’t just a hat trick \u2014 it was a statistical earthquake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David became only the second player in history to score a World Cup hat-trick for a non-European or non-South American team, after the USA’s Bert Patenaude, who achieved the feat in 1930 against Paraguay. Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

David became the first Canadian man or woman to record a hat trick in a World Cup match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the timing makes it even more remarkable. David joined Argentine legend Lionel Messi as one of the only players to score a hat-trick in the ongoing FIFA World Cup \u2014 meaning in the same tournament, the all-time list of CONCACAF hat trick scorers and the list of 2026 World Cup hat trick scorers both got a new addition on the same day, with David in elite company alongside Messi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan David became the first Canadian man to ever score multiple goals in a single World Cup game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Moment His Country Will Remember<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There was extra weight to this performance \u2014 Canada’s own Prime Minister was watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney attended the match after missing the team’s opener in Toronto last week because of the G7 summit in France. He sat with FIFA president Gianni Infantino. HuffPost<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The political and football worlds collided to witness history together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What This Means for the Golden Boot Race<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

David’s hat trick didn’t just make history \u2014 it completely reshaped his betting odds for the tournament’s top individual prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to his hat trick, he was either unlisted across major sportsbooks or priced as a massive underdog at over 100-1. He is now +2000 to win the award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the first nine days of the tournament, both Messi and David have three goals, while Mbapp\u00e9, Kane and Haaland headline the group of players with two goals. Yahoo Sports<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s a serious group of company to be sharing the goalscoring charts with \u2014 and David, a player few would have tipped for the Golden Boot before the tournament, is right in the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
