How Eustaquio’s Unseen Leadership Turned Canada’s Match Around
Canada‘s match-winning hero Stephen Eustaquio said he “felt everyone shoot with me” as he attributed their historic 1-0 World Cup win over South Africa to the belief in the camp and the country.
Eustaquio’s 92nd-minute half-volley settled the first knockout game of the 2026 World Cup to send the co-hosts, playing in Los Angeles rather than in Canada having failed to win their group, into the last 16.
Canada created enough chances to win their first ever knockout game by a much greater margin, with a special strike from Eustaquio that will instantly go down as the most famous goal in the country’s footballing history required to beat the impressive South Africa goalkeeper Ronwen Williams.
