Canada and Costa Rica played out an entertaining 1-1 draw at the 2026 FIFA World Cup as Alphonso Davies produced a moment of brilliance to rescue his side. The Canadians found themselves behind early on after Costa Rica took advantage of a contentious VAR ruling that stood despite protests from the home bench.

The match turned dramatically in the final seconds of the opening half when Davies collected the ball 30 yards from goal and unleashed an unstoppable drive that arrowed into the top corner. The Bayern Munich star’s strike not only wiped out Costa Rica’s advantage but also sent the Canadian supporters into raptures.

Costa Rica held firm in the second period, creating several promising opportunities but failing to find a second goal. Canada pushed forward in search of a winner yet could not break down a resolute defense, ensuring both teams shared the points in a hard-fought encounter that showcased the growing quality of CONCACAF football.
