Canada vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Match Report
Bosnia and Herzegovina took the lead in the 21st minute when Jovo Lukić headed home from a corner kick. Canada responded strongly in the second half and came close to equalising through Richie Laryea, whose effort struck the woodwork in the 52nd minute.
The Bosnians survived another major scare in the 66th minute when Ermedin Demirović produced a crucial goal-line clearance to keep his side ahead.
Canada’s persistence finally paid off in the 79th minute. Substitute Promise David, on the field for just over two minutes, delivered a perfectly weighted chipped pass for Cyle Larin, who calmly slotted home the equaliser.
The result gives Canada their first-ever FIFA World Cup point, while Bosnia and Herzegovina were left disappointed after leading for much of the match.
