Larin equaliser earns Canada first ever World Cup point

Cyle Larin scored a late equalizer for Canada against Bosnia-Herzegovina on November 27, 2022, securing their first-ever World Cup point in a 1-1 draw. Larin, who came on as a substitute, found the net in the 85th minute, leveling the score after Bosnia-Herzegovina had taken the lead in the 36th minute through a penalty from Vedad Ibišević. This result marked a significant milestone for Canadian men's soccer, as they competed in their second World Cup and first since 1986. The match, held at the Khalifa International Stadium, saw Canada create several chances throughout the game, with Alphonso Davies notably hitting the post early on. Despite the draw, both teams were eliminated from the tournament.
