This week on Yesterday in Sports:

On this episode of *Yesterday in Sports*, Chris Horwedel recaps the biggest stories from Thursday, June 18, starting with a historic day at the World Cup as Canada beat Qatar 6-0 in Vancouver for its first-ever men’s World Cup victory. Jonathan David scored a hat trick, Cyle Larin opened the scoring, Nathan Saliba added a free kick, and Canada moved top of the group on goal difference, though the win was tempered by Ismaël Koné’s serious leg injury.

The World Cup coverage continues with Switzerland’s 4-1 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina behind a breakout two-goal performance from 20-year-old Johan Manzambi, Mexico becoming the first team to reach the knockout stage after a 1-0 win over South Korea, and South Africa staying alive with a 1-1 draw against Czechia.

Chris also breaks down a busy WNBA slate, including Atlanta’s 108-101 win over Indiana in a Caitlin Clark-Angel Reese matchup that showed why the Dream look like a real playoff team. The Commissioner’s Cup final is now set between the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty, with A’ja Wilson leading the Aces past Phoenix.

Elsewhere, the NHL futures market resets after Carolina’s Stanley Cup win, the Mets beat the Phillies behind two Juan Soto home runs, the White Sox stunned the Yankees on Andrew Benintendi’s pinch-hit grand slam, Alexandra Eala upset Elena Rybakina at the Berlin Open, an elephant oracle picked Germany to beat Ivory Coast, and Liverpool’s reported chase for RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande became the transfer rumor to watch.
