South Africa vs Canada

South Africa vs Canada in the Round of 32, played June 28 in Los Angeles, ended 1-0 to Canada on a Stephen Eustaquio goal in the 92nd minute, delivering the co-hosts their first-ever men's World Cup knockout win.
South Africa had reached the knockout stage for the first time since hosting the tournament in 2010, qualifying on sporting merit for the first time since 2002 and finishing second in Group A behind Mexico after a 0-2 loss to the eventual group winners, a 1-1 draw with Czechia and a 1-0 win over South Korea. The stoppage-time winner from Eustaquio settled a tight, cagey match that looked destined for extra time until the very end. Canada, co-hosting alongside the United States and Mexico, had finished second in Group B with a 1-1 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina and a 1-2 loss to Switzerland among their results, and the win over South Africa proved to be the high point of their tournament before a 3-0 loss to Morocco in the Round of 16 made Canada the first co-host eliminated from FWC26.
