Canada are through to the World Cup last 16 for the first time after a 1-0 win over South Africa. Stephen Eustaquio decided the match with a goal in the second minute of stoppage time.

The late breakthrough turned a tight result into a landmark moment for the co-hosts, who secured progression with almost no time left for South Africa to respond.

The available source material confirms the result, goalscorer, timing and Canada’s historic qualification, but offers limited detail beyond the match outcome. Editors may want to verify additional match context, group implications or reaction before expanding this draft.
