On a Friday night in Toronto, beneath the shadow of the CN Tower, Canada stepped into a new chapter of its footballing story — not with a victory, but with something perhaps more meaningful for a nation still finding its footing on the world stage: its first-ever World Cup point on home soil. A late goal from substitute Cyle Larin rescued a 1-1 draw against Bosnia-Herzegovina, a small Balkan nation that had itself defied expectations by eliminating Italy to get here. In the long arc of Canadian sport, this single point carries the quiet weight of arrival.
