Stephen Eustáquio produced the biggest moment in Canadian men’s soccer history on Sunday. Eustáquio scored a 92nd minute goal to give Canada a 1-0 win in the World Cup Round of 32 over South Africa. Eustáquio buried the shot after a headed clearance fell right in front of him at the top of the penalty box.

Canada squandered numerous great chances in front of the South African goal thanks to missed shots and some incredible South African defending. Instead, Canada’s World Cup dream continues after it made the knockout rounds for the first time. Canada will play either the Netherlands or Morocco on July 4 in Houston.
