In the final stage, despite being at a numerical disadvantage, Chile tried to apply pressure and Canada managed the match. In a busy second half, the teams created some opportunities, but failed to score.
Towards the end of the game, in the 45th minute, Canada managed to score a goal, with Tani Oluwaseyi, but the goal was disallowed for offside. Thus, the match ended in a goalless draw.
