Key Stats & Trends
Switzerland dominated possession: The Swiss had 70% of the ball. Canada sat on 30%. That is not a competitive match. Canada were chasing shadows for long stretches, particularly in the first half where Xhaka and Freuler dictated tempo completely.
Both goals came from Manzambi: Johan Manzambi assisted Vargas for 1-0 at 46’, then scored the second himself at 57’ with a finish Crépeau got a hand to. The Swiss winger was the best player on the pitch and Canada had no answer for him after the break.
Larin touched the ball 10 times: Cyle Larin produced Canada’s first shot on target at 33 minutes and touched the ball just 10 times before being substituted. Canada could not get their strikers involved in the game. Promise David stepped off the bench to score the consolation at 76’.
Canada still advance in second place: The loss sends Canada to SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles for the Round of 32 on June 28, where they face South Korea. Switzerland take the top spot and face a third-placed team. Both nations are through.
Switzerland were the better side from start to finish. The 70-30 possession split tells the full story. Vargas punished a passive Canada second half that never got going. Manzambi was outstanding. David’s late goal gave Canada hope but there was not enough time and not enough quality in the final third to force an equaliser. Switzerland deserved to win.
