After Canada was docked six points for spying with a drone, Vanessa Gilles scored the game-winning goal in Canada’s 1-0 victory over Colombia, as Canada swept their Olympic preliminary round games to advance to the quarterfinals at Paris 2024.

Canada won all three games but only has three points to show for it after a ruling from the sport’s governing body last week as part of a list of Canada Soccer sanctions.

Knockout play will continue through the final on Aug. 10 in Paris.
