Switzerland - Canada 2:1 Goal video and match review

The Swiss national team defeated Canada in the match of the third round of Group B of the 2026 World Cup in Vancouver — 2:1. Murat Yakin's team got off to a lively start and created several dangerous moments in front of the opponent's goal, but Canadian goalkeeper Maxime Crespo repeatedly saved his team after shots from Joan Manzambi and Ruben Vargas. In response, Canada also had opportunities to stand out - in particular, Kyle Larin and Ali Ahmed, but they did not manage to break through Gregor Kobel. After the break, Switzerland quickly took the lead: Ruben Vargas opened the scoring. In a little more than ten minutes, Joan Manzambi doubled the advantage of the "crusaders". The Canadians were able to close the gap thanks to Promise David, who scored with almost the first touch after entering the field. Canada had a chance to avoid defeat late in the match, but Derek Cornelius missed a header from a good position. With this win, Switzerland earned 7 points and won Group B. Canada finished second with 4 points, ahead of Bosnia and Herzegovina on goal difference. In the World Cup playoffs, Switzerland will play one of the third-placed teams in their groups, while Canada will face the second team from Quartet A.
