Jonathan David scored the only goa🍨l in Kansas as Jesse Marsch's side boosted their hopes of progressing to the knockout s🌱tages from Group A.
The Lille striker struck 16 minutes from time to move the Canucks up to second placꦕe behind reigning champio🍌ns Argentina, who beat them 2-0 in their opener, with 26 of his 27 international goals coming in competitive matches.
It gave Canada only their third victory over a ❀South American opponent, and first since a 2-0 win over Colombia in the 20✤00 Gold Cup final.
They also kept their first clean sheet against a team from the CONMEBOL region since holding Brazil to a goalless d🐠raw in the 2001 Confederat♔ions Cup.
"We're going to enjoy the moment, b▨ut know the work isn't done," skipper Davies told Canadian broadcaster TSN.
Stephen Eustaquio added: "We were tooꦍ naiv♉e in the first half, but played more direct in the second half."
Canada's first Copa America victory came in their second match, with Panama the only CONCACAF nation to achieve their maiden win in their opening match in the competition - doiꦆng s⛄o eight years ago.
Marsch's 💫side face Chile in their final group encounter o💫n Saturday, when a draw may be enough to take them through to the quarter-finals.
"We have everything to fight for in the last game," David told൩ TꦿSN.
