Reigning champions Canada gave themselves a lifeline at the Paris Games on Sunday with a last-gasp 2-1 victory over France and insisted they are not cheaters.

Canada were docked six points – a huge blow to their hopes of retaining the Olympic title they won at the Tokyo Games – after it emerged they had used drones to spy on opponents. Fifa also banned their English coach, Bev Priestman, and the officials Joseph Lombardi and Jasmine Mander from any football-related activity for one year.
