Despite their defeat to Switzerland, Canada managed to reach the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup. There, they will face South Africa, looking for a convincing victory. With this in mind, both sides are expected to have a competitive clash. Here are the confirmed lineups for both sides. Even though they lost the top spot in their group to Switzerland, Canada secured their place in the knockout stage for the first time in their history. There, they will face South Africa, one of the most defensively solid teams at the 2026 World Cup. With this in mind, fans are keeping a close eye on Alphonso Davies‘ availability, as he has yet to make his tournament debut and could be key in attack. Canada have shined as one of the most consistent national teams. While imposing an offensive approach, they also shine in defensive task. To chase the victory, Tajon Buchanan and Liam Millar are set to be key to break the defensive line. Moreover, Jonathan David will also play a huge role, opening gaps within the centerbacks and chasing the goal. While Alphonso Davies is the main star of Canada, he has yet to make his debut at the 2026 World Cup. After suffering a hamstring injury at the beginning of May, he has been recovering, missing the entire group stage. Jesse Marsch has made it clear that he will be available to have some minutes, but he will start from bench. With this, he will look to avoid relapses on his injury. Without being a particularly impressive attacking team, South Africa reached the knockout stage by prioritizing defensive consistency. Therefore, Hugo Broos is expected to stick with his two defensive lines. However, their counterattacks are very dangerous, as they are capable of forcing defensive mistakes from their opponents. Without a striker in top form, they could instead shine through their aerial game, where several players can shine. Cyle Larin #9 of Canada celebrates with Promise David #24 after scoring a goal. South Africa confirmed lineup vs Canada South Africa are looking to upset Canada with a more conservative approach. Head coach Hugo Broos will be without Themba Zwane due to the red card he received in the opening match against Mexico. However, he will keep a similar lineup that helped them shine against South Korea, with Mbekezeli Mbokazi leading the defensive line. In addition, Thapelo Maseko will once again have the task of making the difference in front of goal. With this in mind, South Africa will play as follows: Ronwen Williams; Khuliso Mudau, Ime Okon, Mbekezeli Mbokazi, Aubrey Modiba; Yaya Sithole, Teboho Mokoena; Thapelo Maseko, Relebohile Mofokeng, Oswin Appollis; Evidence Makgopa. Canada confirmed lineup vs South Africa Canada have proven to be one of the most consistent teams at the 2026 World Cup. Relying on an attacking approach, head coach Jesse Marsch has excelled in every aspect, as his team have also been solid defensively. Therefore, they will bet on a similar lineup, looking to dominate the match and impose their goalscoring threat. In addition, Alphonso Davies could be a key impact substitute. Considering this, Canada will lineup as follows: Maxime Crépeau; Alistair Johnston, Luc De Fougerolles, Derek Cornelius, Richie Laryea; Tajon Buchanan, Stephen Eustáquio, Nathan-Dylan Saliba, Liam Millar; Jonathan David, Tani Oluwaseyi.
South Africa and South Korea square off in Group A to close out the opening phase of the 2026 World Cup, with both sides fighting for a ticket to the knockout rounds. The Group A of the 2026 World Cup comes to an end as South Africa face South Korea at Monterrey Stadium. This final group stage match serves as a definitive fixture for both nations as they battle to book a spot in the highly anticipated Round of 32. Despite suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to co-hosts Mexico on Matchday 2, South Korea remain in an excellent position to advance. Their opening-day 2-1 victory over Czechia means the Taegeuk Warriors control their own destiny. For this South Korea’s crucial game, Son Heung-min won’t feature in the starting lineup, where a draw will be enough to officially guarantee their place in the next round. The path ahead is significantly steeper for South Africa. The Bafana Bafana have accumulated just one point in the group standings, courtesy of a dramatic, late equalizer against Czechia on Matchday 2. Consequently, South Africa face a non-negotiable must-win scenario to keep their World Cup journey alive. Teboho Mokoena #4 of South Africa celebrates a goal vs Czech Republic. (Getty Images) South Africa confirmed lineup With a victory being the only avenue to secure a spot in the Round of 32, manager Hugo Broos is expected to field his absolute strongest XI to spearhead the attack and hunt for all three points. South Africa’s confirmed lineup: Ronwen Williams; Khuliso Mudau, Mbekezeli Mbokazi, Ime Okon, Aubrey Modiba; Thalente Mbatha, Sphephelo Sithole; Thapelo Maseko, Relebohile Mofokeng, Oswin Appollis; Evidence Makgopa. South Korea confirmed lineup Manager Hong Myung-bo faces late fitness tests on two key starters. Defender Kim Min-jae and midfielder Bae Jun-ho are both racing against the clock after picking up ankle knocks, meaning they could potentially start on the bench. South Korea’s confirmed lineup: Kim Seung-gyu; Han-Beom Lee, Kim Min-jae, Gi-Hyuk Lee; Young-woo Seol, Paik Seung-ho, Hwang In-beom, Lee Tae-seok; Lee Kang-in, Hwang Hee-chan; Oh Hyeon-gyu.
Teboho Mokoena became the latest player to remind the soccer world of Ronaldo’s global impact after a dramatic moment in South Africa’s clash against the Czech Republic sparked huge reactions. Cristiano Ronaldo may still be searching for his first goal of the 2026 World Cup, but his influence continues to reach far beyond the scoresheet. Teboho Mokoena became the latest player to remind the soccer world of Ronaldo’s global impact after a dramatic moment in South Africa’s clash against the Czech Republic sparked huge reactions. The South African midfielder delivered one of the most emotional performances of the tournament so far, beginning the night with tears during the national anthem before becoming the hero who rescued his country’s World Cup hopes. His late equaliser secured a valuable 1-1 draw and created one of the most talked-about celebrations of the competition. Both South Africa and Czechia entered the match knowing that another defeat could seriously damage their chances of reaching the knockout stage. Bafana Bafana had already suffered a 2-0 loss against Mexico in its opening game, while the European side had fallen 2-1 to South Korea after failing to hold onto an early advantage. The pressure was clear from the opening whistle, and Czechia quickly made life difficult for South Africa. Michal Sadilek gave his country the perfect start in the sixth minute after Alexandr Sojka found him in space, allowing him to slide a finish past goalkeeper Ronwen Williams. Teboho Mokoena #4 of South Africa celebrates after scoring a penalty For South Africa, the early setback created another difficult World Cup situation. The national team has struggled historically at this stage of the competition, having failed to progress beyond the group stage despite hosting the tournament in 2010. Ronaldo’s iconic celebrations steal the spotlight The midfielder then delivered the moment South Africa needed most. After Thapelo Maseko’s long-range effort struck Pavel Sulc’s hand inside the penalty area, the referee awarded a penalty in the closing stages. Mokoena stepped up in the 83rd minute and showed incredible composure, sending a low strike past Czech goalkeeper Matej Kovar to level the match. The goal gave South Africa a lifeline and changed the mood inside the stadium. After scoring the equaliser, Mokoena and his teammates celebrated in a way that immediately caught global attention. The South African players recreated Cristiano Ronaldo’s famous “Siuuu” celebration before following it with another trademark Ronaldo-inspired celebration. The second celebration, often referred to as Ronaldo’s “sleep” celebration, saw Mokoena close his eyes and put his hands together before his teammates joined him. The tribute quickly spread across social media, with fans praising the respect shown toward one of soccer’s biggest icons. Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United celebrates after scoring Ronaldo’s influence remains bigger than goals The timing made the moment even more interesting because Ronaldo himself had just played Portugal’s opening World Cup match against DR Congo without scoring. The 41-year-old forward was unable to find the net in a 1-1 draw, but his popularity was once again demonstrated through another player celebrating in his honour. The player has previously paid tribute to Ronaldo after South Africa’s famous victory over Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations, when he and his teammates also copied the Portuguese superstar’s celebration. Teboho Mokoena #4 of South Africa celebrates with teammates after scoring a penalty against Czechia Ronaldo’s difficult start to the tournament has created discussions about his current role with Portugal, especially after Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick for Argentina in the same World Cup round. However, moments like Mokoena’s celebration show that Ronaldo’s legacy is measured through more than statistics. The Portuguese captain has now seen a rare goal drought of 10 consecutive appearances in maj
They can put the matches away, at least for a while. Before this game, Hugo Broos had responded to fierce criticism over South Africa’s start to the World Cup by revealing that eight months ago after qualification a friend had said they would erect a statue of him and the coach had replied by saying: “Make it out of wood; that way it will burn more easily.” Beaten 2-0 by Mexico, they were seven minutes away from following that with a 1-0 loss to Czechia, left with no points, no goals and not much hope. But from almost nowhere, in an arena that Broos criticised as “not a football stadium”, they got the penalty that allows them to fight another day.Pavel Sulc was the unfortunate man who gave it away, not given time to remove his hand from the path of another long shot. Teboho Mokoena was the man who scored it and what it means could be seen not only in how he celebrated then but in the tears that had rolled during the national anthem before. Continue reading...
