Switzerland served ​up a spoiler, ⁠flipping ⁠the table and kicking ​Canada out of Vancouver for the group of 32 round with a ​2-1 win in Vancouver on Wednesday afternoon ‌to finish atop Group B of the World Cup.

Johan Manzambi caught Canada's Maxime Crepeau leaning left and ripped a powerful shot to the goalkeeper's right and into the net to put Switzerland up 2-0 in ​the 57th minute. ⁠The 20-year-old Manzambi made his first start Wednesday as it becomes more evident he's the club's top attacker. He has three goals and one assist in ‌this World Cup.
