About this episode

Canada earns their first-ever men’s World Cup point with a last-minute equalizer from Cyle Larin against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Canada stunned the world by earning their first-ever men’s World Cup point in a gritty draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina, thanks to a last-minute equalizer from Cyle Larin — his first goal for the national team in over a year, scored right near his hometown. Ranked 30th globally, the team defied expectations with a crowd-boosted performance that felt like home for Larin, who joined the squad 12 years ago when Canada was ranked 110th. Coach Jesse Marsch boldly reshuffled his lineup, injecting fresh energy even with stars on the field. Now, with eyes set on Vancouver’s electric stadium for their next clash against Qatar, Canada’s belief is soaring — they’re not just here to compete, but to win their first-ever World Cup match. For players like Ali Ahmed, it’s a homecoming on the world’s biggest stage. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
