FOUND: Pluck of the draw as canada earn first world cup point | Mind Blowing Facts

Late substitute Cyle Larin scored in the 78th minute as co-hosts Canada earned their first point in their third World Cup appearance - and first on home soil - by rallying for a 1-1 draw against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

"The crowd, I think, willed us into the game as (the players) could feel that energy in the second half tilting more and more," said Canada coach Jesse Marsch.
