Canada coach Jesse Marsch made tactical changes in the 59th minute, introducing Niko Sigur and de Luc Fougerolles to revitalize the lineup.
"I think the performance was really strong and disciplined.
We didn't really give much away, and even when their goalkeeper was slowing things down, we didn't lose our patience.
...
We could have made life a little easier on ourselves if we would have made a play earlier when we had some big chances, but obviously the timing of the goal means that the win is incredibly dramatic," Marsch said.
The tactical shifts paid off when Shaffelburg's late cross led to Eustáquio's decisive goal, sparking celebrations.
"And I think the effect that it will have in Canada and the inspiring of people will be immense.
So, I'm really proud of our team," Marsch added.
Eustáquio, who had not scored internationally since 2023, expressed his joy after delivering one of the most critical goals in his nation's soccer history.

"I feel very happy that I scored the goal that was able to help the team, but that shot, I felt that everybody in the team shot that ball with me," Eustáquio said.
