Beijing time (CEST) on June 29, in the Round of 16 of the World Cup, Canada defeated South Africa 1-0. After the match, Canadian player Alphonso Davies was interviewed.

About the match, Davies said: "The final result was incredible. The team needed more energy, and I think the coach made the right changes at the right time, and we ultimately won the match. Eustáquio's volley to the top corner was simply beautiful... absolutely a world-class goal. We are incredibly excited now and happy to continue in this tournament. You could see everyone running onto the field because this victory means so much to us. This is our second consecutive World Cup, and the previous one didn't go the way we hoped. For most of us, this is like a dream come true. We want to keep going and advance."

About his long-awaited World Cup debut, Davies said: "It was really difficult. During the first three matches, I could only sit and watch, including the warm-up matches before that. That period was really tough, but I always believed my opportunity would eventually come. I had to be patient and keep training hard. The team and the coach gave me enough time to recover, and my teammates had performed exceptionally well beforehand, creating the opportunity for me to be on the field today. I'm really grateful to them."

About Canadian team's prospects, Davies said: "Everything depends on us. We know we'll face very strong opponents next. For us, everything is possible. We have talent and sufficient motivation. I think the most important thing in the coming days is to recover well physically, and then focus on studying our opponents."
