On a Friday night in a co-hosted World Cup, Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina met as nations carrying different weights of expectation, and parted having shared a single point apiece. Canada, playing on home soil for the first time in this tournament, recovered from a first-half deficit through patience and tactical adjustment, equalizing but falling just short of a winner in the final seconds. In the mathematics of an expanded tournament, one point is not nothing — it is a foothold, a reason to continue believing. Both teams leave the pitch still alive, still reaching.
