🧠 Match Summary

vs

South Africa dominated the ball with 58% possession at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood but were undone in dramatic fashion as Stephen Eustáquio broke South African hearts with a stoppage-time strike in the 90+2nd minute to send Canada through to the Round of 16. The hosts of this World Cup were the more dangerous side throughout, generating 12 shots to South Africa's six, with seven of those efforts forcing saves compared to just one from Bafana Bafana.

Canada's goalkeeper had a comfortable evening needing only one save, while his South African counterpart was kept busy with five stops in a resolute defensive display that ultimately wasn't enough. Under João Pinheiro's whistle, Canada advance on home soil with a hard-fought and late, but thoroughly deserved, victory.
