Canada reaches World Cup round of 16 after Eustacio’s late winner over South Africa

Canada qualified for the World Cup round of 16 by defeating South Africa 1‑0 in a match in Los Angeles. The only goal came in the 90+2 minute when Eustacio struck from the right side of the box, sending the ball into the bottom right corner.

South Africa, playing a cautious defensive game, failed to create clear chances, and Canada’s pressure in the second half was insufficient to score until the added‑time strike. The victory marks Canada’s first ever appearance in the last 16 of the tournament. Their next opponent will be either Morocco or the Netherlands, as determined by the upcoming draw.
