- Canada vs. Bosnia-Herzegovina: 1-1 (tie)

- Canada vs. Switzerland: 1-2 (loss)
- Canada vs. South Africa: 1-0 (win)
After finishing second in its group, Canada advanced to its first knockout match.
In the knock out match against South Africa, Canada was tied 0-0 for most of the match, and it looked headed for extra time. But Canada kept pressing and finally broke through, with Stephen Eustáquio scoring in the 92nd minute to seal the 1-0 win.
It was Canada’s first-ever World Cup knockout win, and it sent the team into quarterfinal contention.
Who Canada Will Play in the Round of 16
If Canada wants to make it to the quarterfinals, it still has one more match to play in the round of 16.
At this point, it has not yet been determined who the opponent will be. Canada will either face the Netherlands or Morocco on July 4 in Houston at 1 pm EST (10 am in Vancouver). The opponent will be determined by the result of the June 29 match between the two countries.
What’s Next
If Canada gets past this round, the road only gets tougher.
Possible quarterfinal opponents include France, Germany, Sweden, or Paraguay. For now, though, all eyes are on the next match and whether Canada can keep its momentum going on one of soccer’s biggest stages.
Regardless, Team Canada has already made history and done something truly special, and we’re proud of how far it has come. No matter what happens next, this run has given fans a lot to cheer for.
