The Qatar player was initially shown a yellow card – but it was later upgraded to a red.
Kone was taken off on a stretcher for Canada with what looked like a broken leg.
And Madibo left the pitch in tears in the 53rd minute.
Qatar were reduced to nine men in the Group B clash in Vancouver.
They already trailed 3-0 to first-half goals from Cyle Larin and a double from Jonathan David.
