1 / 4

South Africa’s World Cup run ended in heartbreak as Canada edged Bafana Bafana 1-0 in the Round of 32. Bafana Bafana began confidently and came close early when Teboho Mokoena tested Canada’s goalkeeper. Ronwen Williams then produced a string of saves to keep the scores level, denying several Canadian attacks in a tight first half. The decisive moment arrived in stoppage time when Stephen Eustaquio unleashed a low shot into the corner. Canada held on to claim a dramatic win and book their place in the last 16, while South Africa bowed out of the tournament.
