Larin covered his ears with his hands after scoring as Canada ended its 6-game losing streak at the World Cup

[Reporter Wu Mengru/Comprehensive Report] Substitute Cyle Larin scored in the 78th minute to help Canada come from behind in the first game of the 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup group match. Finally, they shook hands with Bosnia and Herzegovina 1:1, ending their 6-game losing streak in the World Cup and grabbing the first point in team history. Larin also expressed his resentment, "I hope they can shut up now."

The 31-year-old Larin has played 91 games for the Canadian men's football team and scored 31 goals. However, before this game, he had only scored 1 goal in the past 17 starts. Therefore, he has been criticized by the outside world. Today, he started as a substitute in the first game of the World Cup group stage. He was also disappointed that he failed to start the game.

However, Larin scored the key goal to equalize the game just 121 seconds into the second half. After scoring, he covered his ears with his hands to symbolize that he no longer wanted to hear outside criticism. Then he kissed the Canadian team emblem on his chest. He said: "This is for the fans, reporters and media. They always say that I shouldn't be here. But I have always proved them wrong, and today I did it again."

Canadian head coach Jesse Marsch revealed that he actually talked to Larin before announcing the starting lineup. "I told him whether you are starting or coming off the bench, you have played well this year and have an impact every time you play. Now you have to be prepared to change the situation as a substitute, and he did."

Larin said: "This goal is of great significance. I have proven many times that I can score goals for Canada, and today I did it again, and I will continue to do so in the future."
