Canada drew 1:1 with Bosnia and Herzegovina in Toronto on June 12 in the opening Group B match of the football World Cup. The tournament co-host fell behind in the 21st minute, when Jovo Lukic scored with a header from a corner kick, but Cyle Larin equalized late on, securing a historic point for the home team. irozhlas.cz ↗

Bosnia and Herzegovina held a narrow lead for a long time and were heading toward a winning start to the tournament. According to available information, Canada had a significant advantage but were unable to convert it into a goal for a long stretch. The decisive moment for the home side came only shortly before the end of regular playing time, when Larin salvaged the draw. Deutschlandfunk ↗

For Canada, this is the first point in the history of its World Cup appearances. The team is competing at the World Championship for the third time, and before this match it had not succeeded in any of its previous appearances at the tournament. Even this time it failed to achieve its first win, despite playing at home and entering the match with the support of the crowd in Toronto. El Mundo ↗

The 1:1 result means both teams retained their chance of advancing from the group after the first match. Canada will need better finishing efficiency in the coming matches, while Bosnia and Herzegovina can build on a disciplined performance and their ability to capitalize on a set piece.
