Canada’s goal-scoring hero Stephen Eustaquio was in tears after the 1-0 win over South Africa on Sunday after being asked about the deaths of his parents in a post-match interview.

One of the three host nations became the first team into the last 16 of the World Cup as the Canadian’s edged South Africa in Los Angeles.

It was a largely forgettable game but there was a rare piece of quality late on as Eustaquio produced a classy finish in the 92nd minute.

Canada had never picked up a point at the World Cup before this year but progressed from their group with a win and a draw and now have their first ever knockout stage victory.
