Commentary

Switzerland beat Canada 2-1 in Vancouver to leapfrog their opponents into top spot in Group B. After a very low-key first half, which saw Embolo denied from a one-on-one early on in the best chance, Vargas fired Switzerland ahead just 39 seconds into the second period. Manzambi assisted that goal and scored the second himself, taking advantage of some poor defending and goalkeeping in doing so, before Promise David pulled one back almost instantly after being brought off the bench with a superb volley. Canada looked a lot better from that point and had chances to level up late on, but they were unable to take them. Marsch's side finished with an xG of 1.34, compared to 1.06 for their opponents, so they can argue a point would have been a fair outcome. As it is, Canada will now face the runners-up from Group A, whereas Switzerland will face a third-placed team in the last 32. Thanks for joining our live coverage!

FULL-TIME: SWITZERLAND 2-1 CANADA

96'

CHANCE GOES BEGGING! Johnston gets his head to a left-sided cross and has space either side of Kobel to aim for, but instead it is right at the Switzerland goalkeeper.

95'

It's a shame this Canada did not turn up until going 2-0 down – they have been a different team since then. Switzerland, to their defence, are dealing with everything thrown at them late on as Kobel claims another cross.

94'

SAVE! Promise David flicks on Johnston's long throw, but Kobel is able to gather without breaking a sweat. That may have been the final chance.

93'

Canada are continuing to knock at the door. A cross into the middle is cut out before a player in white can get on the end of it.
