World Cup co-hosts Canada tonight won their first-ever point at the World Cup after they forced Bosnia to a 1-1 draw in Toronto.

Bosnia took the lead in the first half and looked like they would inflict Canada their seventh straight loss at the World Cup until Southampton striker Cyle Larin came off the bench to restore parity.

Poor finishing and some resolute defending by Bosnia denied Canada victory as they dominated possession and created the better chances.

Abuja-born Tani Oluwaseyi started for Canada, but was wasteful in front of goal, while former Nigeria U23 striker Promise David was a late sub for the World Cup co-hosts.

Tani Oluwaseyi, who was born in Abuja, will lead Canada strike force, while former Nigeria U23 striker Promise David will start from the bench against Bosnia tonight in Toronto.

Promise David changed his international allegiance to Canada after he played an official game for Nigeria at U23 level.

He has only returned from a long-term injury he suffered while playing for his Belgian club Union St.Gilloise.

Oluwaseyi has joined La Liga club Villarreal from Major League Soccer (MLS) this past season.

Ghana top star Thomas Partey will miss an opening World Cup game against Panama Wednesday after he was refused entry to Canada.

The Canadian government has refused his visa so he can’t feature against Panama.

Partey has been charged with multiple counts of rape, five last year, and two in February.

He pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.

FIFA say they play no role in the immigration, including granting entry visas.

The Black Stars are already without top stars Mohammed Kudus and Alexander Djiku
