Canada’s Larin rescues draw with late goal against Bosnia in Group B opener
TORONTO: Canada striker Cyle Larin came off the bench to grab a 1-1 draw for his side against Bosnia and Herzegovina in a frenetic Group B opener on Friday that long looked like it would end in defeat for the World Cup co-hosts. Bosnia went ahead in the 21st minute when Jovo Lukic steered home a flick-on from a corner for his first international goal, but Canada thundered forward and should have equalized through Richie Laryea in the 53rd, only for Bosnia’s Sead Kolasinac to miraculously steer his shot off the crossbar and away to safety.

After Lukic put the battle-tested Dragons on the board it was Canada, roared on by a boisterous red-clad crowd, who took over. Canada pressed for the rest of the half but were unable to establish much of a presence deep in the Bosnia half with almost every ball they sent into the area quickly cleared from danger. The hosts nearly drew level at the start the second period when Laryea went through on goal and his
