Defender Alastair Johson drew a yellow card for a hard clash in just the 11th minute.The stadium erupted in the 17th minute when forward Jonathan David had a clear shot on goal, but it was easily handled by Bosnian keeper Nikola Vasilj.Ten minutes later, a razor sharp header from Bosnia and Herzegovina forward Jovo Lukić found the back of the net in the 21st minute. It was a goal that Canada would find difficult to answer.

Canada made three changes, replacing Liam Millar, Jonathan David and Tajon Buchanan with Jacob Shaffelburg, Promise Akinpelu and Ali Ahmed respectively. A minute later, Bosnia and Herzegovina would follow with two of its own — Ivan Bašić and Jovo Lukić exchanged for Armin Gigović and Samed Baždar.But it was Canada's decision to substitute forward Tani Oluwaseyi for Cyle Larin in the 76th minute that made all the difference.Fresh off the bench, it took Larin just two minutes to create the breakthrough Canada had been looking for. A precision strike off an assist from Akinpelu sailed past keeper Nikola Vasilj to tie the game up and send the home crowd into raptures.Canadian sides have endured a perfect record of futility at two previous tournament appearances in 1986 and 2022, with six losses.The result, borne on the back of Larin's screamer, gave Canada its first point in World Cup history.Given seven minutes of stoppage time to burn, and both squads showing signs of serious fatigue, neither was able to come up with a tiebreaker and a bruising but nevertheless very entertaining match ended level.With reporting from Reuters and Agence France-Presse.You can watch all 104 matches of the FIFA World Cup 2026™ live, free and exclusive on SBS, SBS VICELAND and SBS On Demand.FIFA World Cup 2026™ at SBS On Demand: get match ready.For the latest from SBS News, download our app and subscribe to our newsletter.
