Friendly Match in Toronto Ends in a Goalless Draw Between Canada and Ivory Coast
Toronto, Ontario – In a hard-fought match at BMO Field, Canada and Ivory Coast failed to break the deadlock, resulting in a 0-0 draw. The friendly, held on June 11, 2025, was marked by intensity and numerous fouls, reflected in the number of cards shown by referee Filip Dujic.
Despite having 44% possession, the Canadian team generated 7 shots, none of which seriously troubled the opposing goalkeeper. Ivory Coast dominated possession with 56% and made 9 shots, with only one directed on target. Both teams struggled to convert their opportunities, leaving the score blank.
The match, part of the 2025 Friendlies, saw a total of 9 yellow cards: 5 for Canada and 4 for Ivory Coast. The high number of fouls committed by both sides (20 by Canada and 18 by Ivory Coast) highlighted the constant battle in midfield.
