VANCOUVER, June 18 (Reuters) - Canada’s first ⁠World Cup match on the west coast delivered a resounding 6-0 victory over Qatar that brought boundless joy to ⁠long-suffering local fans in Vancouver, who witnessed their men's national team notch their first win at a ‌World Cup finals.

On an otherwise jubilant afternoon at the sold-out BC Place, the only shadow that was cast was in the form of a suspected broken leg suffered by midfielder Ismael Kone after a clumsy tackle by Qatar's Assim Madibo, but not even that could dampen the enthusiasm of the raucous home ​fans.
