Costa Rica and Canada national football teams played a 1-1 tie in a Concacaf Gold Cup Group A match at BBVA Compass stadium here.
Canada's Alphonso Davies, a 16-year-old soccer prodigy, opened the scoring with a goal in the 26th minute on Tuesday, reports Efe.
Costa Rica tied it up at 1-1 in the 42nd minute on a header off a rebound by Francisco Calvo. Davies gave his teammates a scare in the 69th minute when he twisted an ankle and had to leave the game.
