Match recap
Canada rescued a 1-1 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina at Toronto Stadium to claim the first point in their World Cup history, having lost all six matches they played in 1986 and 2022. Bosnia took the lead in the 41st minute through Jovo Lukić, his first international goal, finishing a Sead Kolašinac flick-on from a corner. Substitute Cyle Larin equalized in the 78th minute with a deflected shot, just two minutes after coming on. The co-hosts, missing star man Alphonso Davies through injury, deserved more on a 1.25 xG to Bosnia's 0.98. Canada and Bosnia both play again on June 18.
