The second round of the FIFA World Cup 2026 will begin in Los Angeles when co-host Canada takes on South Africa on Sunday.
The Bafana Bafana ended a 16-year wait, returning to the tournament as an underdog, and beat South Korea to secure its spot in the final 32. Canada, on the other hand, romped to a 6-0 win over Qatar after a 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina to enter the second round.
Though Canada enters this contest as a favourite, the last time the two teams met, it was South Africa which had the last laugh with a 2-0 win, courtesy of a brace by Teko Modise in 2007.
