The day began in Toronto, where Canada battled Bosnia and Herzegovina to a 1-1 draw in Group B action. Bosnia and Herzegovina struck first when Jovo Lukic scored to give the visitors an early advantage. Canada pushed forward throughout the second half and finally found the equalizer through veteran striker Cyle Larin. The goal earned Canada its first point of the tournament and kept the hosts in the race for a spot in the knockout stage. Both teams finished the day with one point in Group B.
Later in Los Angeles, the United States delivered one of the strongest performances of the tournament so far with a convincing 4-1 victory over Paraguay in Group D. Forward Folarin Balogun led the attack with two goals, while the Americans controlled the match from the opening whistle. Paraguay managed a second-half goal, but the United States quickly regained control and added another late score to seal the win. The result puts the Americans at the top of Group D after the opening round of matches.
After two days of competition, North America's host nations have enjoyed a strong start, with Mexico and the United States earning victories and Canada collecting a valuable point.
