The first game of the Second Round have started as co-host CANADA took on South Africa. Canada finished second in Group B with 4 points. In their opening game, they drew 1-1 against Bosnia before their biggest win 6-0 against Qatar. In their last game they lost 2-1 to Switzerland.
This is the furthest Canada has reached in any World Cup as they have gone out in the group stages in Mexico in 1986 and again Qatar in 2022. So History has already been made.
The game it’s self was not that entertaining. There was too much pushing and holding players with pulling shirts by the South African and at times Canada. Canada won by a very late goal in the 90+2 minutes by Stephen Eustaquio, and what a strike it was from the edge of the box into the bottom left hand corner of the net. His first goal of the tournament. Canada are now into the last 16, but need to do better. Canada are on a total of 9 goals and they have a total of 3 votes.
