After Lionel Messi and Ousmane Dembele, Jonathan David is the second player to score a hat-trick in this World Cup. David scored 3 goals as Canada defeated Qatar 6-0 in the group stage.

David helped Canada achieve the biggest margin of victory in CONCACAF's World Cup history. Despite his poor performance with Juventus in the Italian Serie A this season, David has been performing well for Canada in the World Cup.

David's hat-trick goal played a big role in Canada's big victory over Qatar, taking them to the knockout stage for the first time. He is the first player from North America to score 3 goals in a single match in the 96-year history of the World Cup.

The 26-year-old forward, born in Brooklyn, USA, has scored 42 goals in 80 matches for Canada. He will be a key player for Canada when they play their last 32 match against South Africa. He joined Juventus in the 2025 season, where he has scored 6 goals in 35 appearances.
