Canada Stuns South Africa in Stoppage Time

Canada reached the World Cup last 16 for the first time in their history after Stephen Eustaquio's stoppage-time winner secured a 1-0 victory over South Africa in Inglewood, California.

The dramatic goal, scored in the 91st minute, sent Canadian fans across the country into delirium and earned plaudits from the prime minister.

The co-hosts will next face either the Netherlands or Morocco on July 4 in Houston.

The win marks a historic moment for Canadian soccer, which has long been overshadowed by the women's team's success.
