A historic World Cup knockout debut awaits both Canada and South Africa.
Despite identical 1-1-1 group stage records, South Africa is riding a massive wave of momentum following a dramatic 1-0 win over South Korea that secured their first-ever knockout berth in four tournament appearances.
Canada, meanwhile, must shake off a sobering 2-1 loss to Group B winners Switzerland.
Still, the Canadians boast plenty of game-breaking talent, anchored by Alphonso Davies, Stephen Eustáquio, and forward Jonathan David, who powered their group stage with a hat-trick against Qatar.
They face a confident Bafana Bafana squad hungry for goals behind the legs of Teboho Mokoena, Thapelo Maseko, Percy Tau, and Lyle Foster.
No matter who wins, one team will advance further than they've ever gone in the World Cup.
