Canada midfielder, Stephen Eustáquio, has told their potential opponents in the World Cup Round of 16 to get ready for a difficult encounter.
He issued the warning while speaking during his post-match interview after Canada defeated South Africa 1-0 in their Round of 32 fixture on Sunday.
Eustáquio scored a 92nd-minute winning goal as the hosts defeated Bafana Bafana to qualify for the next round of the tournament.
With the victory, Canada will now face the winner of the Round of 32 match between Morocco and the Netherlands in the last 16 at Houston Stadium in the coming days.

Reacting after the historic win, the 29-year-old star said that Jesse Marsch’s men will give Morocco or the Netherlands their hardest game yet at the tournament.
He praised his colleagues for doing an amazing job against the African side and promised they will repeat the feat in their next game.
Addressing journalists, Eustáquio said: “We will try to make Morocco and the Netherlands see our game and feel, if they go through, they’re going to get the hardest game they’re going to face in this World Cup.
“I think we did an amazing job and it’s going to be an amazing game next week.”
