Canada and Costa Rica played out a tense 0-0 draw at BMO Field in their opening Group C clash of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The match was overshadowed by an early injury to star full-back Alphonso Davies, who limped off in the 67th minute clutching his right hamstring.

The Canadian attack struggled to break down a disciplined Costa Rican defense, despite several promising moments in the second half. Goalkeeper Keylor Navas was the standout performer for Costa Rica, denying three clear scoring opportunities to preserve the clean sheet.

The result leaves both sides with one point from their first fixture, setting up a crucial second match for Canada where they will hope for a swift return or suitable replacement for their injured talisman.
