Substitute forward Cyle Larin struck in the 78th minute, rescuing Canada for a 1-1 draw against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Toronto. The goal came two minutes after Larin entered, finishing a Promise David pass amid chants from a sea of red, with hockey star Connor McDavid and actor Ryan Reynolds among the spectators. It marked Canada’s first World Cup point on home soil.

Bosnia’s lone goal arrived in the 21st minute when Jovo Lukic headed a corner from Sead Kolasinac and Ivan Basic past a stunned Canadian defense. The 27‑year‑old’s strike was his first international tally, coming in his fourth cap. His header gave Bosnia the early lead they would defend for most of the match. Bosnia‑Herzegovina, making its second World Cup appearance, previously knocked Italy out in the European playoffs.

Canada, without injured Alphonso Davies, pressed for a winner, seeing a chance in the 54th minute when Stephen Eustáquio’s pass hit Richie Laryea and rebounded off Kolasinac onto the crossbar. The draw leaves Canada needing at least a win in its final two group games against Qatar and Switzerland to stay alive, while Bosnia heads to Los Angeles for its next match.
