Goal.com · 1d ago

South Africa and Canada meet in Los Angeles in a Round of 32 tie that's historic for both sides, with each looking to reach the World Cup's second knockout round for the first time ever. South Africa arrives as Group A runners-up under coach Hugo Broos, while Canada survived a late loss to Switzerland to advance behind captain Alphonso Davies and record scorer Jonathan David. Canada enters as the bookmakers' favorite, but South Africa's defensive discipline has carried the country to its best-ever World Cup campaign.
