Canada Vs Bosnia-Herzegovina, FIFA World Cup 2026: Super Sub Cyle Larin Helps Les Rouges Earn First-Ever Point

Canada and Bosnia-Herzegovina played out a thrilling 1-1 draw in their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign opener at Toronto Stadium on Friday, June 12. Bosnia took the lead in the 21st minute thanks to a Jovo Lukic header. However, the tournament co-hosts found a supersub in Cyle Larin, who volleyed past Nikola Vasilj in the 78th minute, just 121 seconds after coming on as Tani Oluwaseyi's replacement. With the draw, Les Rouges claimed their first-ever point at the World Cup. Canada were 0-6 across their previous outings. Before the kickoff, an elaborate opening ceremony celebrated the arrival of the tournament in the country. Group B action moves to the United States with Qatar and Switzerland going head to head in Santa Clara on Saturday. All four teams will be in action on June 18: Bosnia vs Switzerland in Inglewood and Canada vs Qatar in Vancouver.
