North AmericaSportsHigh confidence — 93/100
World Cup co-host Canada has beaten South Africa 1-0 to progress into the last 16 thanks to a last-gasp strike from Stephen Eustáquio in Los Angeles.
Despite dominating the chances at SoFi Stadium, Canada seemed destined not to break down South Africa's dogged defence as the game entered injury time.
However, Los Angeles FC midfielder Eustáquio had other ideas, powering a low shot from 20 metres out into the bottom corner to send Canadian supporters wild in the 92nd minute of the game.
