This historic fixture marks the first-ever men's World Cup match played on Canadian soil. Canada automatically qualified alongside the United States and Mexico as co-host nations.

For Canada, this was their best result inWorld Cuphistory by earning their first-ever point. Previously, Les Rouges had lost all six of their group-stage games at the 2022 and 1986 World Cups. It certainly looked like that streak would continue after the team gave up a goal in the 21st minute via a Jovo Lukic header off a corner kick. After that goal, Canada spent the next 57 minutes playing from behind with a desperate desire to get that equalizer. Canada did have a big moment earlier in the second half, but a Sead Kolasinac goalline clearance kept Bosnia and Herzegovina in front for the time being. The Canadians controlled much of the game's possession and did have more total shots than the European side, and it all came …
