English transcript reference

Today let's talk about a very special World Cup match.

This match was Canada against Qatar.

Let's start with the result: Canada won, six to nil.

Six to nil — that's a very big scoreline.

Six goals in a single match really is rare.

This match held especially great meaning for Canada.

Because this was Canada's first ever World Cup win.

What's more special, this match was played in Vancouver, Canada.

That is to say, Canada won at home.

The whole ground was full of Canada fans.

They all came to cheer for their country.

Canada is one of the hosts of this World Cup.

As hosts, playing a World Cup in their own country is an enormous honor for them.

So Canada badly wanted to put in a good performance in front of their fans.

On the Canada team, there is a very good forward named David.

David's shooting is accurate and he's especially good at scoring — one of the team's most important players.

Today, he scored three goals all by himself.

One person scoring three goals in a single match is called a hat-trick, and it's a remarkable thing.

Many great players go their whole careers with only a few hat-tricks.

At the start of the match, Canada took the upper hand.

They played very proactively, attacking forward throughout.

Before long, David scored Canada's first goal.

One to nil — Canada led.

After this goal, Canada played with more confidence.

They soon scored another goal, two to nil.

Qatar wanted to catch up, but it got harder and harder.

What's worse, two Qatar players were sent off.

In football, if a foul is too serious, a player is sent off and can't play anymore.

Today, two Qatar players left the pitch for this reason.

And so Qatar had only nine players left on the pitch.

Other teams have eleven players; they had only nine.

Down two players, it was even harder for them to play.

Canada, meanwhile, played more and more smoothly, attacking in wave after wave.

They scored one goal after another, stretching the score wider and wider.

Each time they scored, the whole crowd cheered.

Three to nil, four to nil, five to nil, six to nil.

Canada scored six goals in all.

Of these, David scored three, and the others were scored by different players.

In the end, the match finished six to nil.

At home, Canada won easily and handsomely.

When the match ended, the whole crowd went wild.

They sang and danced, celebrating for their team.

Because this was the first World Cup win Canada had waited so long for.

And what's more, they did it in front of their own fans, with a big win.

A moment like this means a great deal to a country's fans.

For Canada, this day will be remembered forever.

Of course, Qatar lost badly today.

They were down two players and ran into a red-hot Canada.

In that situation, losing is no surprise.

But a football match has wins and losses — that's perfectly normal.

Qatar needs to forget this match and prepare for the next.

After the match, many people were talking about Canada.

Some said Canada played wonderfully at home this time.

Others said David's hat-trick was deeply impressive.

Actually, this is the interesting thing about the World Cup.

As hosts, winning in front of your own fans is especially joyful.

And winning at a World Cup for the first time, and so big, makes it a double celebration.

A night like this will be remembered for a lifetime by Canada's fans.

And being able to score six goals also shows Canada's attack has real quality.

For Canada, this was a dreamlike start.

Winning a match like this will give them more confidence going forward.

For Qatar, the group stage isn't over, and they still have a chance.

Alright, that was the Canada versus Qatar match.

Canada won big six to nil, and David scored a hat-trick.

This was a very important day in Canada's World Cup history.

Thank you for listening — see you next time.
