Los Chapines went to penalties and earned their spot in the quarterfinals.

Los Chapines aguantaron, empataron y mataron en penales.

Canada’s Gold Cup run se acabó. After going up 1–0 and playing with ten desde el primer tiempo, the CanMNT couldn’t hold on. Guatemala tied it with a cabezazo criminal from Rubio Rubín, then finished the job from the spot.

Luc de Fougerolles hit the crossbar in the shootout, and José Morales didn’t blink—gol y vámonos. Canada out. Guatemala to semis. Así de frío.
