When Canada and South Africa share the pitch in Los Angeles, history will be made regardless of the final whistle. Both nations are making their first-ever appearance in the World Cup knockout stage, and the winner will continue to make history for their country.

Though they both advanced with identical 1-1-1 group stage records, Canada and South Africa arrive on entirely different wavelengths.

South Africa is flying high following an emotional, hard-fought 1-0 shutout of South Korea to punch their ticket to the Round of 32. Canada, by contrast, is looking to rebound after losing Group B winners Switzerland in a tight 2-1 loss.

The Canadian co-hosts possess the high-octane star power to make a deep run, relying on Alphonso Davies, Stephen Eustáquio, and clinical finisher Jonathan David, who already has a group-stage hat-trick to his name.

The confident Bafana Bafana side is led by the dynamic core of Teboho Mokoena, Thapelo Maseko, Percy Tau, and Lyle Foster.
