sportsJun 12, 2026491,385

Cyle Larin came off the bench and scored in the 78th minute to earn Canada a 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina in Toronto, opening Group B at the FIFA World Cup. Jovo Lukić had given Bosnia the lead earlier, and Promise David supplied the pass that created Larin's equalizer. The draw gives co-host Canada its first point of this tournament in its first-ever World Cup match on home soil and keeps Canada’s Group B hopes alive going into the next fixtures.

"We didn't lose! We didn't lose!" is not much of a thing to chant, but it's all they have right now.

A great result. Bosnia certainly wasn’t the better team. Canada had much of the play but not enough finish.

Ismael Kone created that chance out of nowhere, Promise David helped, and Cyle Larin was ready. Boy, did Canada need that

Cyle Larin becomes a national hero in Canada. He is the third Southampton player to score at a World Cup finals (Jan Badnarek for Poland v Japan, 2018; Salisu for Ghana v South Korea, 2022) No Saint has yet scored for England at a World Cup: Kevin Keegan came close against Spain in 1982!

1 - Canada has trailed in all seven of its FIFA World Cup matches, but Cyle Larin's goal is the first time they've equalized after going behind. Level.
