World Cup Roundup: Co-Hosts USA And Canada Make History

The second day of the 2026 FIFA World Cup provided some magical moments from the hosts.

cruised past Paraguay, while Cyle Larin late equalizer ignited an electric atmosphere in Toronto.

Here is everything you might have missed from Day 2 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup: Canada vs.

Bosnia and Herzegovina United States vs.

Paraguay BEST OF THE DAY Assist Of The Day It was a massive moment for Canada in the 78th minute as Cyle Larin expertly controlled, turned, and finished after receiving a brilliant first-time pass from Promise David.

The forward's clever one-touch ball, played with the outside of his boot, split the Bosnian defense and found Larin in space.

It was a moment of creativity and quality that Canada desperately needed against a disciplined Bosnian back line, with only a touch of ingenuity capable of unlocking their stubborn defensive structure.

Save Of The Day A potential Save of the Tournament candidate on match day 2 came from Saed Kolašinac, who produced a heroic last-ditch goal-line block in the 53rd minute.

His intervention deflected the ball onto the crossbar and out, preserving Bosnia and Herzegovina's lead.

Canada eventually found an equalizer later in the match to earn a point, but Kolašinac's remarkable defensive play may ultimately prove to be the reason Bosnia escaped Toronto with a valuable draw.

Goal Of The Day An incredible goal from Gio Reyna, who curled a trivela with the outside of his boot past the Paraguayan goalkeeper, who had no chance of making the save.

Reyna came off the bench after a difficult club season in which he struggled to break into the Borussia Mönchengladbach lineup, but coach Mauricio Pochettino still put his faith in him by including him in the squad.

Reyna repaid that trust with a moment of individual brilliance.

Moment Of The Day The United States could not have gotten off to a better start, cruising past Paraguay at Los Angeles Stadium.

It was a rocking atmosphere in Los Angeles as Folarin Balogun bagged a brace, alongside an opening own goal, to lead the U.S.

It's the kind of performance that can fuel a dream run for the Americans.
