World Cup 2026: Switzerland and Canada level at halftime (0-0)
The Group B match between Switzerland and Canada, played on June 24, 2026 at BC Place in Vancouver, remains tight at halftime with a goalless 0-0 scoreline. In the 32nd minute, Switzerland’s Granit Xhaka and Canada’s Cyle Larin were both shown yellow cards, underlining the intensity of the first half. No goals were scored in the opening 45 minutes as the two teams remain level in the group standings after their previous results.

Switzerland, set up in a 4-2-3-1 under Murat Yakin, have largely controlled the ball with around 70% possession and a pass accuracy rate above 85%. Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel has had to make one save, while the team has committed eight fouls.
Canada are playing in a 4-4-2 with Jesse Marsch as head coach. Despite more limited possession at 30% and a pass accuracy rate of 71%, Canadian goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau has made two important saves. The Canadian players have committed four fouls as they try to contain Switzerland’s dominance.
In attack, Breel Embolo has been Switzerland’s most active player with two shots on target. For Canada, Jonathan David and Cyle Larin make up the attacking duo, with the latter having received a yellow card. The Swiss midfield, featuring key players such as Granit Xhaka and Remo Freuler, is trying to make the difference but has so far been held up by a well-organized Canadian defense.
