Canada secured their first-ever World Cup knockout victory by defeating South Africa 1–0 in the round of 32. The decisive goal came in stoppage time of the second half, scored by Stephen Eustaquio from outside the penalty area.
Eustaquio's long-range shot found the back of the net after a defensive clearance. South Africa had defended resolutely throughout the match, with goalkeeper Ronwen Williams making several key saves.
Canada's coach Jesse Marsch praised the team's discipline and composure after the match. The victory means Canada will face either the Netherlands or Morocco in the next round on 4 July in Houston.
