Commentary
FULL TIME: South Africa 0-1 Canada
Mbatha swings in a hopeful, final cross inside the final minute but Crepeau comes out confidently and leaps to collect the ball before dropping safely to the floor...
It is a special moment for the co-hosts, and an even sweeter one for Eustaquio, who plays his football in Los Angeles for LAFC. Can South Africa get themselves back into this in the final four minutes?

EUSTAQUIO WINS IT FOR CANADA!!! QUITE INCREDIBLE!!!!! Just as this game looked to be fizzling out, the Canadians' elegant midfielder rifles them into the last 16!!! Johnston gets down the right side and sends in a hopeful ball which is cleared to the edge of the box where Eustaquio is free to chest the ball down, let it bounce and drill the cleanest of strikes into the bottom corner with Williams stranded. A knife to the heart of the South Africans.
We are into five minutes of stoppage time as South Africa continue to frustrate the fans inside the stadium, stroking it around with no real intensity, just waiting to pick a gap in the Canadian press.
Appollis turns and spins past a couple of challenges in midfield and fires a pass into Rayners in a central area but the striker's touch is poor and De Fougerolles comes across to clean up. South Africa are ending this game the stronger side.
