Canada reach first World Cup last 16 with late win over South Africa

Canada won their first-ever World Cup knockout match on Sunday. Stephen Eustaquio struck a wonderful stoppage-time winner to guide Canada into the World Cup's round of 16 for the first time, as they earned a nervy 1-0 win over South Africa. Both sides were playing their first-ever World Cup knockout match, and South Africa were on the cusp of forcing extra time following a resolute defensive performance.
Canada – playing in Los Angeles despite being co-hosts after failing to win their group – will now face the Netherlands or Morocco in Houston in the last 16 on July 4, as South Africa's World Cup adventure came to an end.Before the game, coach Jesse Marsch had talked up the "X-factor" of Canada's star Alphonso Davies, available again after a hamstring injury. But the Bayern Munich wing-back, who was yet to appear at this World Cup, remained glaringly absent from the starting line-up.

In the 22nd minute, a pinpoint Eustaquio free-kick found Derek Cornelius wide open on the six-yard line. The Canada centre-back completely mistimed his header. South Africa threatened sporadically on the counter. But in a frenetic spell just before half-time, Canada came agonisingly close.
