Canada 1-1 Republic of Ireland: Chiedozie Ogbene earns draw with World Cup co-hosts in friendly

Chiedozie Ogbene's equaliser ensured the Republic of Ireland continued their good run of results as they drew 1-1 with World Cup co-hosts Canada in Montreal.

Canada went ahead in the 24th minute from an own goal by defender Jake O'Brien, heading a failed clearance into his own net from Stephen Eustaquio's corner.

Ireland were then awarded a penalty in the second half after Cyle Larin - who signed a two-year deal with Southampton earlier in the day - took out Jamie McGrath.

Canada goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau saved Troy Parrott's initial attempt, but Ogbene was on hand to slam home the rebound and tie the game in the 60th minute.

Ireland, who failed to qualify for this summer's , went close to a winner but Crepeau denied a charging run from Mason Melia late on.

The Orlando City goalkeeper missed out on the 2022 World Cup in Qatar after breaking his leg while playing in the MLS Cup final.

Canada, managed by former Leeds boss Jesse Marsch, officially open the World Cup on June 12 in Toronto against Bosnia and Herzegovina, before facing Qatar on June 18 and Switzerland on June 24.

They remain without captain Alphonso Davies, who is still nursing a hamstring injury he sustained while playing for Bayern Munich.
