Assim madibo

Soccer Canda: Canada's 6-0 thrashing of Qatar on Friday (IST) was marred by a horrific injury to Ismael Kone, who had to be carried off on a stretcher following a dreadful challenge from Qatar's Assim Madibo, who was sent off for the challenge.

Speaking after the game, Canada coach Jesse Marsch admitted the shock caused by the injury, but insisted that Kone's broken leg will only serve to unite his players even more to claim the country's first-ever World Cup win.

"It was right in front of us, and everyone could hear the bone snap," said Marsch, who was shown to be in tears minutes after the incident, as reported by Xinhua.
