Eustaquio’s Stoppage-Time Strike Sends Canada into World Cup Last 16

Canada booked a spot in the World Cup Round of 16 with a dramatic 1-0 win over South Africa after Stephen Eustaquio’s late goal. With extra time looming, he pounced on a loose ball at the edge of the box and drilled a low shot past Ronwen Williams to spark wild celebrations. South Africa defended bravely throughout and saw goalkeeper Ronwen Williams pull off several outstanding saves, including stops from Tajon Buchanan, Tanitoluwa Oluwaseyi and Jonathan David. Oswin Appollis also tested Canadian keeper Maxime Crepeau with a powerful long-range strike. The defeat ends South Africa’s campaign in agonising fashion and sends Jesse Marsch’s side into the last 16 brimming with confidence. Canada will next face the winner of the Netherlands vs Morocco match as they chase a historic World Cup run.
