Switzerland edged Canada 2-1 in a Group B showdown that kept the Swiss side at the summit of the group and sent the Canadians into the knockout rounds for the first time in their history.
Key moments
Ruben Vargas opened the scoring with a well‑timed finish, and Johan Manzambi added a second goal before the break, giving Switzerland a comfortable lead.
Canada pulled one back in the closing stages when Promise David struck, but the goal proved insufficient to alter the outcome.
What’s next?
Switzerland will now meet a third‑place team from another group on July 2 in Vancouver, while Canada travels to Inglewood, California, for a Sunday encounter with the runner‑up from the same pool.
The result underscores the growing competitiveness of the tournament and highlights the emergence of Canada as a formidable contender on the world stage.
