Canada were held to a goalless draw by Costa Rica at BMO Field in Group B of the FIFA World Cup 2026. The match remained tense throughout as both teams struggled to break each other down in a tightly contested encounter.

Alphonso Davies thought he had given Canada the lead late in the second half, but the goal was disallowed after a prolonged VAR review for offside. The decision left the home side frustrated as they pushed for a winner in the closing stages.

Costa Rica showed great defensive organization and resilience to secure a valuable point on the road. With one group game remaining, Canada now know they must secure victory in their final fixture to ensure progression to the knockout rounds.
