Meanwhile, Canadians have also been caught trash-talking South African ahead of the match. Will they eat their words on Sunday evening?
Korea underestimated South Africa, and it cost them.

A weaker opponent on paper and far less crowd and fan support in LA for South Africa 🇿🇦 than there would have been for South Korea 🇰🇷
What a stunner! South Africa beats South Korea and this now means Canada will take on South Africa on Sunday in the round of 32.

You gotta think this is a much more favorable matchup for Canada. What a turn of events.
RO32 FIRST FOR BOTH COUNTRIES
The historic clash will mark the first time both South Africa and Canada have reached the FIFA World Cup knockout stage.
Bafana Bafana secured their place in Group A with a 1-0 win over South Korea, while Canada finished second in Group B behind Switzerland.
SA has only ever played Canada once – at an international friendly in 2007 in Durban, where they won 2-0.
