Canada reaches World Cup Round of 16 with stoppage‑time Eustaquio winner

sportsJun 29, 202615175

Stephen Eustaquio scored a long-range stoppage-time strike in the 92nd minute to give Canada a 1-0 victory over South Africa and send the co-hosts into the World Cup Round of 16. The goal eliminated South Africa and marked Canada’s first-ever progression to the last 16 at a men’s World Cup. Alphonso Davies returned to Canada’s starting lineup for the match. Eustaquio was named FIFA Man of the Match for his decisive strike. The winning goal was the first 90-plus-minute winner in a men’s World Cup knockout game since Nacer Chadli’s 2018 winner for Belgium. Canada will face either the Netherlands or Morocco in the Round of 16 on July 4, 2026.

World Cup memories from the ol Twitter days. Yeah it's less funny that you didn't watch it Julie, you're not a 17th century diarist.

Me quote tweeting Samuel Pepys on the night of a world cup game. He was off to watch a play. My qt says hate people who make a big thing of not watching the football. Rando non follower reply underneath flatly saying I didn't watch it.

Does anybody not find it ironic that. This FIFA World Cup in 2026 in the United States. FIFA employed a referee who was found guilty of match fixing.

This piece makes a point I hadn't really thought about: There has probably never been a day where the entire world was focused on Canadian sport, and by extension Canada, in quite this way. Remarkable. Startling.

The World Cup 2026 knockout story is a fictional journey of football fans. The stronger teams will pass, Argentina looks good and surprise packages such as the USA or Colombia could cause an upset. But form, tactics, luck and performance will determine the real results.
