Canada led this match 1-0 heading toward 90 minutes and allowed an equalizer in the 87th minute. Playing their first home World Cup match since 1986, the crowd at BMO Field was at full voice but Bosnia showed the resilience to snatch a point.
Jonathan David continues to be Canada's most reliable scorer — his MD1 goal made him the all-time leading scorer in Canadian World Cup history. The midfield structure around him needs improvement before the next match.
Bosnia arrived as significant underdogs at +420 and left with a valuable point. Edin Dzeko's role as target man drew defensive attention and allowed Hodzic the space to convert the late equalizer.
Ivaylo Petev's side showed the tactical maturity to hold shape under pressure. At +25000 tournament odds, even advancing from the group would be a massive result.
Canada lead all-time 2–0. No prior World Cup meetings.
