Report
Bermuda and Trinidad & Tobago caused a major surprise in the Pan-American Games Soccer Tournament in Winnipeg, Canada, in 1967, with Bermuda defeating Trinidad in the Semi-Finals before falling in extra-time to Mexico in the Final. Bermuda had finished second in their pool, having defeated USA 7-3, and drawn with both Canada and Chile.
Trinidad & Tobago had likewise caused a major upset in the Pool Stage, triumphing 5-2 over Colombia and 1-0 over Argentina. They topped the group having also drawn with CONCACAF powerhouse Mexico. The other Semi-Final qualifier were hosts, Canada.
A crowd of 11,000 watched the Semi-Final between Canada and Mexico, which saw Canada score first, before Mexico got two back for the win. Mexico dominated the Final, but were unable to score in the regulation 90 minutes, before breaking down the Bermuda defense in extra-time, opening the floodgates for a 4-0 win.
