Canada reach World Cup Round of 16!!!

The CanMNT have made the most of their knockout round debut at a men’s World Cup, as they defeated South Africa 1-0 in their Round of 32 clash after a dramatic late winner from Stephen Eustáquio. On a day when they weren’t at their best, Eustáquio made sure that they’d still get over the line on the day, rewarding them for all of the hard work they put in with a special goal. And, in other good news, Alphonso Davies made his return from injury, with this win buying him more time to play an even bigger role in the Round of 16.  Ben, Brendan and Alex dive into a historic game for Canadian soccer, one that will stand out among great historic Canadian sporting moments - and there could still be more big moments to come, with their tournament not over yet.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
