It was a great day for the host nations at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as Mexico secured its place in the Round of 32 and Canada pick up a historic win in front of an enthusiastic home crowd. Here is everything you might have missed on Day 8 of the tournament: Czechia vs. South Africa Switzerland vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina Canada vs. Qatar Mexico vs. South Korea BEST OF THE DAY Save Of The Day Mexico nearly went another day without knowing its knockout round fate – it didn’t have to because of the late-game heroics by Raúl Rangel, who saved not one, but two shots from point-blank range to secure all three points for El Tri. Assist Of The Day Rubén Vargas might have been wide-open for Switzerland’s second goal of the match, but only because of the impressive hold-up play from Breel Embolo, who shielded the ball just long enough to shift Bosnia and Herzegovina’s defense. Goal Of The Day Some players need 90 minutes to make an impact; Johan Manzambi only needed two. The 20-year-old had a brace in Switzerland’s win, and his first was a stunner. Moment Of The Day It was a bittersweet day for Canada. While it secured a historic World Cup win with a six-goal margin of victory, it lost midfielder Ismaël Koné to injury. In a tribute to Koné, Nathan Saliba held up Koné’s jersey number after scoring Canada’s fourth goal. Suffice to say, he will have the full support of his teammates for the remainder of the tournament.
