Stephen \u2060Eustaquio scored deep into stoppage to lift Canada to a 1-0 win over South Africa in a Round of 32 match in the World Cup at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Canadians reached the Round of 16 for the very first time at a World Cup.<\/p>\n
Eustaquio received the ball on the edge of the \u2060box, and drilled his box past diving goalkeeper Ronwen Williams in the first knockout-round match of the competition.<\/p>\n
South Africa, which had seemed \u2060content to play for extra time and a possible penalty kick tie-breaker, made a few furious but unsuccessful attempts to level before the final whistle.<\/p>\n
The Canadians will meet the winner of the Netherlands-Morocco Round of 32 encounter on July \u200c4 in Houston for a spot in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n
