Canada played France to a scoreless draw Saturday to remain unbeaten at the FIFA U-17 World Cup.

The young Canadians are authoring a new story at the tournament after recording a dismal 0-20-4 record in eight previous trips. Canada ended that winless run in its opening game Wednesday, rallying for a 2-1 victory over Uganda thanks to an 88th-minute goal by Elijah Roche and 98th-minute penalty by Marius Aiyenero.

"I'm proud of the boys," said Canada coach Mike Vitulano. "We went toe-to-toe with one of the top teams in the world and showed we belong at this level. We were ready, believed in ourselves, and played on the front foot."

Canada (1-0-1) stands second in Group K, ahead of Uganda (0-1-1) and Chile (0-1-1) and trailing France (1-0-1) on goal difference.
