Chiedozie Ogbene's 60th-minute equaliser secured a 1-1 draw for the Republic of Ireland against World Cup co-hosts Canada in Montreal. The visitors trailed early when Jake O'Brien's own goal put Canada ahead in the 24th minute, but Ireland responded strongly in the second half.

Cyle Larin's foul on Jamie McGrath earned Ireland a penalty, though Maxime Crepeau saved Troy Parrott's initial spot-kick. Ogbene pounced on the rebound to level the friendly, extending Ireland's unbeaten run. The Orlando City goalkeeper nearly won it late, denying Mason Melia's charging run.

Larin had signed for Southampton earlier that day, adding personal significance to his involvement. Canada boss Jesse Marsch watched his side prepare for their World Cup opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 12 in Toronto.

Alphonso Davies remains sidelined with a hamstring injury sustained at Bayern Munich, leaving Canada's World Cup preparations incomplete. The draw provides both nations with useful preparation ahead of the tournament.
