Canada’s Historic Win, Sloppy Play | Dublin News

Canada stunned South Africa 1-0 in a sloppy, stoppage-time thriller, with Stephen Eustáquio’s late goal sealing their first-ever World Cup knockout win — a historic moment for the nation, even if the match felt like a chaotic comedy show. Despite flashes of promise, especially after Alphonso Davies’ late entrance, Canada’s execution in front of goal was painfully inconsistent, while South Africa’s offensive woes were glaring. Coach Jesse Marsch hailed his squad as “Canadian heroes,” but the low-quality play and frequent turnovers raised serious questions about Canada’s readiness for tougher opponents ahead. South Africa, though eliminated, can take pride in reaching this stage — and both teams now face the reality that the expanded tournament format may be doing more harm than good.
