Guatemala defeats Canada on penalties to reach Gold Cup semifinals
In the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinal at U.S. Bank Stadium, Guatemala upset Canada in a tense match that ended 1-1 and was decided by a 6-5 penalty shootout. Canada initially took the lead with a penalty converted by Jonathan David after Guatemala fouled Canadian forward Toni Oluwaseyi. However, Canada was reduced to 10 men late in the first half when Jacob Shaffelburg received a second yellow card, shifting momentum toward Guatemala. Rubio Rubin equalized for Guatemala with a powerful header in the 69th minute, capitalizing on Canada's numerical disadvantage. In the penalty shootout, Guatemala's José Morales scored the winning kick after Canadian defender Luc de Fougerolles hit the crossbar, securing Guatemala's first semifinal appearance since 1996. This marks Canada's second consecutive Gold Cup elimination via shootout, as Guatemala advances to face the winner of the USA-Costa Rica quarterfinal.
