In a thrilling match at Inter&Co Stadium, Maxime Crépeau's three saves propelled Canada to a scoreless draw with Chile, clinching a spot in the Copa America quarterfinals. Despite playing a man down from the 27th minute, Chile held on, with Gabriel Arias making two crucial saves.

Canada, in its debut appearance at the prestigious tournament, couldn't capitalize on the advantage after Gabriel Suazo's red card. Suazo had already been booked in the 12th minute, leading to his early exit. This draw was pivotal, aided by Group A leader Argentina's win over Peru, cementing Canada's advancement.

Canada is now on a path to make history, potentially joining the elite group of teams winning multiple matches in their first Copa America. The quarterfinals, set to begin Thursday, bring fresh challenges as Canada continues its remarkable journey. Meanwhile, Chile concluded their campaign without head coach Ricardo Gareca due to a suspension.
