Canada’s first ever men’s knockout game ends with jubilation! Let it rain Maple Syrup! Canada earned this win, but South Africa didn’t make it easy whatsoever. It was full of sloppy play, hard fouls, poor positioning and tension so thick you could cut it with a knife, but it gave us a moment that will instantly become forever iconic in Canadian sports lore. Stephen Eustaquio loaded up at the top of the box and coolly launched the ball into the bottom left corner for Canada’s first ever goal in the knockout stage and the goal that won their first ever knockout game
Les Rouges were trying to go through the wings and South Africa was doing an excellent job closing them off to the point that only individual brilliance could break the press. Despite all that, we managed to get the best chances and came oh so close to taking the lead multiple chances prior to the 92 minute. Eventually, all that pressure finally paid off and we won the game. This is a moment and game I will remember forever.

What a game!!! Holy Shit actually so stressful, first half for the boys in black was sketchy but second half we flipped a switch especially when the greatest Canadian player of all time Alphonso Davies came on in the 70th minute and in stoppage time are temporary Captain Stephon Estaquio score the biggest goal in Canadian Football history!!!! Oh Canada!!!! I will die with the maple leaf on my fucking Sleeve

I was nervous for both. Whenever one side doesn’t score in the first half and break the tension / pressure there’s a noticeable stiffening effect that makes it look like no one wants to be the one who screws up instead of playing fast and loose and letting instincts take over. Even though he was on the pitch for all of 15 minutes that Alphonso Davies fella was not impacted by the moment. O Canada! Onward!!

Great start to the knockout rounds. I thought for sure this game was headed to an overtime still knotted at zero, but Eustaquio drilled a goal to end it. 60th ranked South Africa made a great effort, they took down South Korea, but ultimately fell short. Goodbye to Sithole, a World Cup legend 🫡

Oh Canada, what are you doing to me?
It was close, it was physical (more than I thought) and it wad slippery. Seriously, the SoFi groundskeeping has to water the turf earlier.
Canada did not play their bast game. Left too much room open for South Africa, passive play, sloppy passing among other things. Though Canada did have some close calls for goals for. When Alphonso came on, it was like Canada achieved 510 Effort Values.
I tip my hat to South Africa. Good defence that shut Canada down and made them pay for their mistakes (noticed I used plural).
Anyways on ti the round of 16.
Go Canada go!!

Oh my goodness, this game came down to the final 92 minutes. Action-packed for the whole 96 minutes that were in the game. Canada looked stronger when they brought in the left-wing back Afonso Davies, he created momentum going forward that was rarely seen throughout the game. South Africa, on the other hand, didn't drop their level; they played with pride for the game and their Nation the whole game. Having most of the chances throughout the game. In the end, Canada will take this 1-0 win by an absolute banger in the late minutes of the game. What a way to start this round of 32, and I can't wait for more.

Haram ball fails this time. This game just had the vibes of 0-0 South Africa wins in penalty but Canada especially late just would not stop pressing. Well earned first knockout win for Canada and an amazing way to kick off the knockouts with an extra time game winning goal to keep the hopes of one nation alive.

Dramatic start to the Knockout stage of the World Cup.
Canada were the better team, but both attacked and had several opportunities to put it behind the net, but both teams lack finishing power. It was much more back and forth in the 2nd as Canada were really in control the 1st half.
South Africa seemed to be playing for the tie near the end and send it to penalties, but Stephan Euestaquio had other plans with a beautiful shot to the left at the 92nd minute to send Canada through to their first ever Round of 16! Historic game to start this round
