On home soil, where expectation weighs heaviest, Canada's World Cup campaign began not with triumph but with rescue. Bosnia and Herzegovina held firm for most of the evening, defending a lead that seemed destined to stand — until a substitute's deflected strike in the dying minutes reminded the crowd that football, like hope, rarely follows the script. The 1-1 draw is neither victory nor defeat, but a mirror held up to a team that must learn to finish what it starts.
