Curacao Scores Late Equalizer to Draw Canada in Gold Cup Group B

In a tense CONCACAF Gold Cup 2025 Group B match in Houston, Canada and Curacao played to a 1-1 draw, with Nathan Saliba giving Canada an early lead in the ninth minute through a well-placed shot. Despite Canada's initial advantage, Curacao fought back, and Jeremy Antonisse scored a dramatic equalizer in stoppage time, capitalizing on a counterattack to keep Curacao's hopes for knockout stage qualification alive. The match featured limited chances, with a disallowed Curacao goal due to offside in the second half. Canada leads Group B with four points and aims to secure the top spot with an upcoming match against El Salvador, while Curacao must defeat Honduras to remain in contention. Canada's campaign continues without star winger Alphonso Davies, who is recovering from an ACL injury. This draw leaves the group wide open as both teams remain in the hunt for advancement.
