On a night when history was being written quietly, Canada found in a single deflected goal something more than a point — they found proof of belonging. In front of their own roaring crowd, the co-hosts of the 2026 FIFA World Cup drew 1-1 with Bosnia and Herzegovina, substitute Cyle Larin equalizing in the 76th minute to rescue a result that will be remembered not for its tidiness, but for what it represents. For a nation that had never before earned a point in World Cup play, resilience, it turns out, can be its own kind of triumph.
