Canada advances to the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 for the first time in their history after beating South Africa 1-0 in a Round of 32 match played in Los Angeles. Multiple reports describe a tense, low-chance game that stayed goalless for long stretches, with little separating the teams as the match moved toward extra time. Stephen Eustáquio scores the only goal deep into stoppage time, firing a strike from just outside the area after capitalizing on South Africa’s defensive clearance. The goal arrives in the 90+2 to 92nd-minute range, and it proves decisive as Canada holds on to secure the win. Canada therefore becomes the first team into the last 16 and the first of the tournament’s co-hosts to qualify for that stage. After the victory, reports say Canada’s next opponent will come from the Netherlands versus Morocco match scheduled for Monday, with the Round of 16 match set for 4 July in Houston.
