Canada concluded its opening World Cup match against Bosnia and Herzegovina with a 1-1 draw. Bosnia was the better team in the first half but ran out of legs by the end. That, and some smart substitutions for Canada, saw the co-host get back into the tie, but it just didn’t have time to find a winner.

Cyle Larin almost scored a last-gasp goal in the dying seconds as well. A draw isn’t the end of the world for either team. The dream of making the knockout stages remains very much on, especially in the expanded tournament.

World Cup matches can only end in a draw in the group stage. There is no extra time. If there is no winner by the end of injury time, the match simply ends. Draws still affect the tournament standings, as both teams receive one point for a match ending in a draw.
