A last minute goal ensured Canada became the first country to win a last-32 World Cup Match advancing into the round of 16. A game where both teams entertained without a final blow with extra time in minds, Stephan Eustáquio took his chance and broke South African hearts.
Japan suffered similar heartbreak, despite scoring first. Kaishu Sano scored with a low drive and the Japanese held on till the 59’th minute before Casemiro leveled the scoring. It was all square heading to extra time when Gabriel Martinelli came up clutch to break Japan’s heart in the dying minute.
Germany and the Netherlands lost on penalties to Paraguay and Morocco with Morocco goalkeeper Bono using an unorthodox style to save Summerville’s penalty to secure Moroccan passage. Cody Gakpo also scored and was elated which would be a bit of comfort after losing his son at childbirth.
