- Switzerland beat co-hosts Canada 2-1 to finish top of Group B and clinch a place in the World Cup's first knockout round.
- Canada, one of the tournament's co-hosts, also advance to the round of 32 despite the defeat, with Sky Sports reporting Switzerland had to withstand a late Canadian barrage to hold on.
Why it matters: Switzerland claim the group winner's berth in the round of 32, while co-hosts Canada advance despite the loss — a result Sky Sports framed as a narrow escape after a late Canadian surge, suggesting the 2-1 margin didn't reflect the pressure Switzerland faced.
