Mon 29 Jun 2026 at 4:13am Canada and South Africa make history Both teams will be making their first appearances in a World Cup knockout match. Both finished second in their respective groups with identical 1-1-1 records over three matches. Because they lost their final group match, Canada will play the match in Los Angeles. Canada coach Jesse Marsch says when it comes to knockout games, "every moment matters". "And certainly when you get to the knockout phase the ability to have full concentration on the task at hand, to understand the opponent and tilt things in our favor is very important. "And the discipline, to make sure you don’t get yourself in trouble with cards or bad penalties."
