Why FIFA World Cup tickets aren't selling out in Toronto

After escaping a couple of certain yellows, Bosnia-Herzegovina get their first two bookings in quick succession. 

The Argentine referee first show Ermedin Demirović a yellow card after he caught Derek Cornelius on the defender's pass attempt. Jovo Lukić joined Demirović in the book with a high boot.

The tension’s still high as we sneak toward halftime. 

As Jan said, Canada’s racking up the corner kicks, but they haven’t produced enough genuine scoring chances. 

Bosnia’s defence looks sharp – consistently picking off Canadian passes just as the situation gets dangerous. 

Canada has 45 minutes to figure out how to crack this code. 

As of the 40th minute, Canada had eight corners but they've been unable to make any of them count. The Canadians can't seem to find a solution to the Bosnians' superior height.

Canada's pressing and — to my untrained eye, at least — beating Bosnia to the ball on a lot of plays.

But can they deliver the finishing blow?

It’s heart-racing stuff every time a Canadian player slips free of their mark. But there's also a sick feeling when Bosnia goes out racing on the counterattack.

A path to goal opens up for Oluwaseyi in the Bosnian box, but he sends his curling shot well off target. That's two huge opportunities that Canada's attackers would love to have back.

Canada was given an opportunity to test Vasilj again after winning a free kick to the goalkeeper's right. But the low pass by Eustáquio didn't even lead to a half-chance, and it's a wasted opportunity.

While the players get a drink, they’ve turned on Toronto Stadium’s sprinklers.

This must be the most lush and perfectly manicured grass in the city right now. 

A blue flare is fired off in Bosnia's fan zone as the party is on up there. 

Canada's fans are stunned.

The visitors strike first from a corner kick!

The first men's World Cup goal scored on Canadian soil is nodded in by Jovo Lukić. A near-post flick found the attacker in Canada's six-yard box, who had no difficulty heading the ball into the Canadian goal. Bosnia-Herzegovina strikes first just before the hydration break.

David had the goal at his mercy there but hit a weak shot straight at Vasilj. That should have been a goal for Canada.
