Six minutes of stoppage time has been added. The game is still 1-1.

Canada scores its first goal, tying the game.

Just minutes after coming on as a substitute, Cyle Larin drew Canada even at the 78-minute mark, blasting home a shot from just inside the box to make it 1-1.

Team Canada has some work to do.

The Canadians currently trail Bosnia-Herzegovina 1-0 at halftime, in the first men’s World Cup match to be played in this country at Toronto Stadium.

Striker Jovo Lukic opened the scoring for Bosnia-Herzegovina on 21 minutes after a flick from Sead Kolasinac from an Esmir Bajraktarevic corner.

Canada carried the play in the opening half, controlling two-thirds of possession time and winning 10 corner kicks but only managed one shot on goal in eight attempts.

Canada’s next action in Group B is June 18 (3 p.m. Pacific) versus Qatar at BC Place.
