Canada lost 2-1 to Switzerland at the World Cup on Wednesday and had to settle for second place in Group B.
Ruben Vargas and Johan Manzambi scored early in the second half as Switzerland came flying out of the break.
Substitute Promise David 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. David, Alistair Johnston, and Derek Cornelius all came close – Johnston had the best chance with a stoppage-time header – as Canada swarmed Switzerland for the final 10 minutes of the contest in Vancouver.
