Canada

Switzerland defeated Canada 2-1 in Vancouver to win Group B and retain home advantage for the Round of 32, while Canada must travel despite securing second place and qualification. Second-half goals from Ruben Vargas and Johan Manzambi overturned Canada’s early momentum and rewarded Murat Yakin’s tactical adjustments, though substitute Promise David briefly renewed Canadian hopes with a volley to make it 2-1. Both teams advance under the 48-team format, but the result leaves Switzerland on seven points with a plus-four goal difference and Canada on four points with a plus-five goal difference, setting up divergent knockout stage paths.
