Canada lost 2-1 to Switzerland on Wednesday and had to settle for second place in Group B.<\/p>\n

Ruben Vargas<\/a> and Johan Manzambi<\/a> scored early in the second half as Switzerland came flying out of the interval. Substitute Promise David<\/a> cut the deficit in half with his first touch of the game in the 76th minute, but Canada couldn’t find the second goal it needed to earn a draw and top the group despite applying intense pressure in the final minutes.<\/p>\n

Canada will play its first-ever knockout match at a men’s World Cup on June 28 in Los Angeles (3 p.m. ET).<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Canadians will take on the second-place finisher from Group A, which will be one of South Korea, Czechia, or South Africa. That group, and that matchup, will be determined later Monday when Group A concludes play.<\/p>\n

Switzerland, meanwhile, will take on a third-place finisher in the round of 32.<\/p>\n

More to come.<\/p>\n
