Eustáquio’s Last-Gasp Goal Sends Canada Into the Round of 16 — Here’s How to Watch Every Remaining Match

The co-hosts make history with a dramatic 1–0 stoppage-time win, and the knockout matches are only getting bigger.

THE MATCH

Canada are through to the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 for the first time in their history. Midfielder Stephen Eustáquio, captain on the night after returning from injury, scored in the 92nd minute to seal a 1–0 victory over South Africa in the opening knockout match of the 2026 tournament. Jacob Shaffelburg delivered the cross into the area; a South African defender headed it clear and the ball dropped to Eustáquio on the edge of the box. He chested it down and drilled a right-footed strike past goalkeeper Ronwen Williams — a finish of the highest quality under the most intense pressure.

The result means Canada, one of the three co-host nations, will contest a Round of 16 fixture on July 4 in Houston against the winner of the Netherlands vs. Morocco. For a country that last appeared at a World Cup in 1986, and for a squad that has grown with every passing round, the milestone feels enormous — and the next match could be even bigger.

With Canada now in the final 16, demand for their next fixture is going to be enormous — and broadcasters around the world are carrying it live. Here’s how to make sure you don’t miss a second, wherever you are.

HOW TO WATCH

UK viewers are sitting on one of the best deals in international sports: BBC iPlayer and ITVX are broadcasting all 104 World Cup matches completely free. Both platforms are geo-restricted to the UK, so if you’re travelling or living outside Britain, connecting to a UK server via TurisVPN before opening either app unlocks the full free feed instantly.

In Canada, Bell Media holds all broadcast rights across TSN and CTV. Canada national team matches — including the upcoming Round of 16 — are available free on CTV and the CTV app. Outside Canada, a TurisVPN connection on a Canadian server gives you access to the free CTV stream without a subscription. The process takes under a minute:

  1. Install TurisVPN on your device (iOS, Android or browser extension).
  2. Select a UK server to access BBC iPlayer or ITVX free — or a Canada server for free CTV coverage.
  3. Open the streaming app, create a free account if prompted, and watch.
