LOS ANGELES, United States (AFP) — Captain Stephen Eustaquio scored a dramatic injury-time winner as co-hosts Canada beat South Africa 1-0 on Sunday to reach the last 16 of the World Cup as the knockout stages began at the tournament in North America.

With both sides making their first-ever appearance beyond the group stage of a World Cup, a tense last-32 tie appeared to be heading for extra time, before Eustaquio broke South African hearts with a clinical hit from just outside the area in the 92nd minute at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

The Porto midfielder — on loan at Los Angeles FC — controlled the ball on his chest and then unleashed a shot that beat South African goalkeeper Ronwen Williams and found the bottom corner.
