Canada 1-1 Curacao: Jeremy Antonisse Strikes Late To Equalize In Houston
Canada were held to a 1-1 draw by Curacao in their second Group B game at the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2025 matchday 2. Nathan Saliba gave Canada an early lead in the 9th minute, firing home a deflected free kick. But four minutes into extra time, sloppy midfield play led to a Curacao counterattack. Jeremy Antonisse broke free and beat goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair to equalise. The draw keeps Canada top, but qualification remains wide open heading into the final round of the group stage. Up next in their campaign, Canada will face El Salvador, while Curacao will take on Honduras on Tuesday.
