Canada and Ireland drew 1–1 in an International Friendly on 6 June, with the hosts' dominance in territory failing to translate into clinical finishing. Canada peppered the Irish goal with 20 shots, though only two found the target, while Ireland operated a compact 3–4–2–1 and relied on swift counter-attacking opportunities. The visitors' goalkeeper made saves at 66.67 per cent, conceding exactly to expected goals, and Ireland's three shots on target from five attempts proved far more efficient in attack. The 4–4–2 formation gave Canada numerical advantage in midfield, yet Ireland's defensive structure held firm despite significant pressure. Both sides will view this result differently: Canada frustrated by wastefulness in front of goal, Ireland satisfied with a point earned through defensive discipline and clinical conversion. The draw offers limited momentum for either team ahead of competitive fixtures.

Goalkeeper Performance
Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
