Match overview
France dominated possession but struggled to break down a resolute Canadian defence. Substitute Papin finally broke the deadlock with a close-range finish after a cross from Stopyra. Canada threatened on the counter but could not find an equaliser in their World Cup debut.
Trivia
This was Canada’s first ever World Cup match. France’s narrow win set them on course for the knockout stages.
