Canada Earn Historic First FIFA World Cup Point After Larin Rescues Draw Against Bosnia

Canada Earn First-Ever FIFA World Cup Point After 1-1 Draw Against Bosnia

Co-hosts Canada secured their first-ever FIFA World Cup point after battling back to earn a 1-1 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina in their Group B opener at Toronto Stadium.

Bosnia struck first through Jovo Lukic, who headed home from a corner in the opening half. Canada responded with a determined second-half display, creating several chances before substitute Cyle Larin made an instant impact. Introduced in the 76th minute, Larin equalised just two minutes later, finishing calmly from a Promise David assist. The striker nearly completed a dramatic comeback in stoppage time, but Bosnia’s defence held firm.

The result ends Canada’s six-match losing streak in World Cup finals and provides valuable momentum ahead of their remaining group-stage matches.
