Canada’s home World Cup party has already delivered one historic night. Now, the co-hosts have a chance to finish the job in Group B.

Canada takes on Switzerland today, June 24, at Vancouver Stadium, with first place in the group on the line.

The Canadians opened their tournament with a 1-1 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina before breaking through in style against Qatar, earning the men’s national team’s first-ever World Cup win with a 6-0 demolition.

Switzerland, meanwhile, has also taken four points from its first two games, drawing 1-1 with Qatar before beating Bosnia and Herzegovina 4-1. Rising Swiss attacker Johan Manzambi has been one of the breakout names of Group B after scoring twice in the win.
