Brazil’s clash with Japan was the biggest match of the 2026 World Cup so far and it was played with the intensity of such a fixture, as the South Americans managed to come back from a goal down to advance to the round of 16.
Germany were not so lucky, as they were held by Paraguay<\/a> in Boston in normal time and had a goal disallowed in extra time, before missing three penalties in the shootout and being dumped out of the World Cup.
And in the late game, the Netherlands suffered the same fate, with Issa Diop’s 91st-minute goal for Morocco<\/a> taking the game to extra time and then to penalties, and it was the AFCON champions who held firm there.
On Tuesday evening we are treated again, as Ivory Coast<\/a> face Norway<\/a> in the first game of the day, before France<\/a> play Sweden<\/a> and Mexico<\/a> face Ecuador<\/a>.
