Canada avoided becoming just the second World Cup host nation to lose their tournament opener as they scored late to earn a point from their clash with Bosnia and Herzegovina in Toronto.
The result marks Canada's first point in World Cup history -- they had lost all six of their previous matches played in their previous two appearances in 1986 and 2022.

With the eyes of the world on the United States' teething issues and Mexico's fast start to the tournament, Canada have seemingly gone under the radar. They had an opportunity to change that on Friday, but fell short of registering their first World Cup victory.
A first-half header from Jovo Lukic put Bosnia and Herzegovina in front before Cyle Larin scored just 121 seconds after being introduced from the bench by Canada boss Jesse Marsch.
The visitors are in a similar position, arriving in Toronto for just their second World Cup appearance after a group stage exit in 2014. With 40-year-old Edin Dzeko among their number, they were playing spoilsport on the hosts' big day out.
Their Group B rivals, Qatar and Switzerland, don't face off until the same time on Saturday, with the USMNT's game against Paraguay following events in Toronto.
