GolVolt Recap

Switzerland silenced the Vancouver Stadium crowd by handing Canada a 2-1 defeat in Group B. Following a combative first half where Granit Xhaka and Cyle Larin traded 32nd-minute yellow cards, the Swiss ruthlessly seized control right after the interval. Rubén Vargas struck in the 46th minute, and Johan Manzambi doubled the lead at 57 minutes. Promise David gave the hosts a lifeline with a 76th-minute strike, but Canada failed to find an equalizer, ending the match with Liam Millar taking an 87th-minute booking.
