Canada's World Cup will end in the group stage, with a 4-1 defeat sealing it
4–1 and mathematically eliminating the Concacaf nation from knockout-stage contention with a group game still to play. Canada joins host Qatar as nations whose tournaments are, for all intents and purposes, already over. earlier in the day and previously tying Croatia, the Atlas Lions and 2018 runner-up are tied on four points, both out of Canada’s reach. Belgium, meanwhile, is on three points, still alive heading into its group finale vs. Croatia.
At 68 seconds into the match, it was the fastest goal thus far at this World Cup, and the fastest in a group match in World Cup history since Clint Dempsey’s opener against Ghana in 2014 for the U.S. ,There can be a tendency to let up after such an emotional start and moment like that, but Canada remained on the front foot, conjuring a few more moments of danger and half chances as Croatia scrambled to get a foothold in the game over the opening 20 minutes.
Livaja forced Borjan into action in the 36th minute, with the goalkeeper making a save from the forward’s sliding, close-range effort at the near post. Canada made a pair of changes at halftime, bring on Jonathan Osorio and Ismaël Koné for Cyle Larin and Stephen Eustáquio, and it nearly paid off immediately. Osorio had a chance to let one rip from 20 yards, and he swing his right leg through it powerfully, only to push the shot just wide of the far post.
