Wide Neves gets on the end of a free-kick, but his header goes wide.

Over the bar Conceição chips the ball into the box, and Silva wins the header, but he can only flick the ball just over the bar. That could be that.

Added time Portugal have about six minutes to preserve their status at this World Cup.

⚽ 90+1' Mikel Merino (0-1)

More changes Portugal bring on Silva and Conceição as Spain turn to Ruiz and Merino.

Growing Spanish pressure Torres fires the ball back across goal from the byline, and Semedo hooks the ball awkwardly behind for a corner.

Great block Olmo is found neatly in the box, and he drives a shot towards the far corner that Dias has to get in the way of.

Good chasing The sub Torres hunts down a lofted pass from Pedri, but he can only hook the ball into the side-netting from an awkward angle.

Not far off Vitinha tries his luck, and the ball deflects awkwardly into the area. Fernandes then holds off Cucurella and lashes a shot towards the near post, but the ball bounces off the side-netting.

Easy enough for Simon Yamal wins a free-kick on the wing and then shoots himself, but his effort is tipped over by Simon.

Back underway The ball is moving again, and Portugal now have Leão and Dalot on the pitch.

Hydration break Another stop in play for a drinks break.

Nobody in the middle Not for the first time, Spain get to the byline and cross only for a good delivery to be met by nobody in the box. This time it is Porro's cross into a perfect area that no Spanish players are ready to get on the end of.

An easy stop Baena spins and shoots on the edge of the box, but the shot has too little power to trouble Costa.

Another corner Yamal's shot is also deflected behind for a corner, but Costa is able to claim the second set-piece in the air.

Over Spain win the ball high up the pitch, and Olmo feeds Pedri in a central position. He shoots from the edge of the box, but Veiga gets across to deflect the shot behind for a corner.

Good thinking Neves and Félix combine neatly on the edge of the Spain box before the latter chips a cross to the backpost, looking for Ronaldo, but he can't cause any problems with his shot on the stretch.

And there is the change Portugal's superstar left-back is replaced by Semedo, who is normally a right-back by trade.

This doesn't look good Mendes has seemingly picked up a knock in that aforementioned duel with Yamal, and now he may well need to leave the pitch.

More like it from Yamal The Barcelona wonderkid has been quiet so far, but this time he shows his talent by skinning Mendes and sending in a low cross that Portugal clear.

Could have been more Neto suddenly has acres of space on the right, but he doesn't use it effectively enough, and his low cross into the box fails to find a teammate.

Back underway The ball is moving once again in this clash between two European giants.

Added time There will be six extra minutes before the break.

Way over Olmo feeds Oyarzabal in the box, but he can't quite work space to shoot. The ball then drops to Rodri, who drives a shot a long way over the bar.

Off the bar! Félix and Mendes work a corner short, leading to Mendes having space to shoot from the corner of the box. He drives a powerful shot towards the far corner that Porro gets his head to, deflecting the ball up and onto the crossbar. That's the closest we have come to a goal so far.

Portugal go close A cross from Neto is met by Félix at the back post, and he tries to head the ball back across goal, but Simon is there to make an important stop. Ronaldo then does well to flick the ball goalwards once more, and Simon is there again to make the save.

Straight across goal Yamal slips the ball to Olmo in the box, and he fires a low cross right along the six-yard box, but there is nobody there to turn the ball home for the opener.

Dangerous Pedri's well-whipped cross leaves Costa flailing slightly, and the goalkeeper ends up parrying the ball straight to Olmo in the box. He gets his head to the ball, but he can only direct his effort narrowly wide.

Almost A ball through the middle almost sets Yamal through, but Veiga slides in to make the interception.

Back underway The ball is moving once again in this round-of-16 tie.

Hydration break The players take a moment to rehydrate before we continue.

Double save Yamal finds himself in space for the first time and dips inside on the edge of the box before whipping a curling shot towards the far corner that Costa has to parry. The ball then drops to Baena, who hits an effort towards the opposite post, and Costa reacts superbly once more to tip the ball away.

Well over Baena has a pop, but his shot flies well over the crossbar.

Ronaldo denied Fernandes wins the ball high up the pitch and feeds Ronaldo on the edge of the box. He does a neat stepover to create space before hammering a shot at goal that Simon has to parry behind for a corner.

A massive chance Oyarzabal is fed through the middle by Olmo, and he only has Costa to beat. He has time to set himself, but he hooks his left-footed effort wide of the far post with the goal gaping.

Powerful effort Mendes whips a long ball across the pitch, and then Cancelo has space to drive forward. He tries his luck from the edge of the box and catches his shot well, but there is just too much height on the effort.

First shot Mikel Oyarzabal pinches the ball high up the pitch and bursts towards goal before hitting a low drive that Costa saves with relative ease. Moments later, Yamal sends in a low cross that could have been dangerous.

We're underway The ball is moving in this international derby. Which nation can start the fastest?

Players on the pitch The players are out on the pitch as the respective national anthems play. Not long now until we get underway.

Neymar tucks it away, 2-1! He rolls it into the bottom corner, with Nyland rooted to the spot.

⚽ 90+10' Neymar (P) (1-2)

Penalty! Østigård catches Casemiro when going up for a header, and the referee has pointed to the spot.

Tempers flare Brazil can't contain their disappointment with defeat on the horizon.

Finish line in sight There are just five minutes of added time left.

⚽ 90' Erling Haaland (0-2)

Incredible save! Ajer almost lobs his own 'keeper in poking the ball away from Endrick, but Nyland recovers to scoop the ball away from goal in the nick of time.

⚽ 79' Erling Haaland (0-1)

Ødegaard tests Alisson He aims for the near corner of the Brazilian goal from the left-hand side of the area, but Alisson is equal to it.

Norway pushing Ajer searches for Haaland with a fizzing ball across the six-yard area but gets too much on it and can't find his striker.

Nyland again! Guimarães pounces on a knock-down from Rayan at close range, but the 'keeper is out quickly to smother his finish.

Nyland tested again Rayan strikes from distance, forcing Nyland to save down low to his left.

Brazil blink After a confident start to this half from Norway, Ancelotti decides to make a change.

Front foot Norway have started the second 45 brightly.

We're back! And Norway make two changes ahead of the second half.

Huge chance! Ødegaard latches onto a loose ball inside the box after good work from Haaland, but his finish is too central and Alisson saves without too much difficulty.

Late wave of pressure It's Norway who are having the better of the closing stages of this half.

Angle closed Haaland slips in Ødegaard inside the box, but his effort is blocked at the near post. Brazil clear the subsequent corner.

Big save! Nyland saves Vinicius Junior's powerful close range effort to keep his side in the game.

Ødegaard goes close! A Norway counter looks to have broken down, but their captain creates space for himself inside the area before firing just wide of the near post.

Brazil threaten again Martinelli bursts toward the byline before firing the ball across the six-yard box. Nyland gets a touch to it, which diverts it over the heads of the onrushing crowd.

Danger averted Cunha breaks away and is one-on-one with Møller Wolfe. He pushes the ball past the defender and into the area, but is eased off the ball by the Norway left-back.

Back on the ball After a period of Brazilian pressure, Norway are controlling possession once more.

Lively contest Rayan and Vinicius Junior are causing Ryerson and Møller Wolfe problems on either flank.

Penalty! Brazil have a chance to open the scoring.

Early pressure Norway win a corner, as they continue to pile the pressure on Brazil in these opening minutes.

Norway almost take an early lead! Ødegaard slips in Sørloth down the right-hand side of the box, who shrugs off a challenge before cutting back to Berg who converts coolly from the centre of the box, but the flag is raised for an offside.

Excellent double save! Mbappé works a shooting opportunity inside the Paraguay area and pulls the trigger. Gill makes a fine instinctive stop, and gets up straight away to save another effort from the Frenchman on the rebound. Somehow, the ball stays out, and Mbappé remains level with Messi on seven World Cup goals.

Late yellow card for Olise The Bayern man pushes Galarza to the ground out of sheer frustration and is promptly booked.

Koundé struck Galarza once again avoids a booking despite appearing to strike the Barcelona defender in the face. Right after, Maignan very nearly gifts a goal to Paraguay after dropping the ball.

Stoppage time 10 minutes have been added on by the fourth official. Paraguay still have plenty of time to find a goal.

Maignan makes a save Maurício is found in space just outside the French penalty area. He swivels beautifully and shoots, but Maignan gets down nicely to his right and holds onto the ball.

Wide from Alonso A bouncing loose ball falls to Alonso, who tries a driving shot from range. However, the Paraguay full-back snatches at the effort, which flashes well wide of Maignan's left post.

Cherki gets a runout The Manchester City livewire replaces Dembélé for the final few minutes of play.

Game opens up Suddenly, there are big gaps opening up in the middle of the pitch as Paraguay commit more men forward. Olise has space to gallop into, but Cubas does well to win the ball off him and blunt the French counter-attack.

Koné booked Cáceres skips past the French midfielder, who then cynically scythes him down and picks up a yellow card for his troubles.

Second hydration break There's a bit of pushing and shoving as both players head to the touch line for drinks. Some of the French players clearly aren't particularly pleased with Paraguay's, shall we say, robust defending.

Double Paraguay change Ávalos and Maurício are on for Almirón and Gómez.

⚽ 70' Kylian Mbappé (P) (0-1)

Mbappé to take the penalty Is this the moment for France after a frustrating first 70 minutes?

First France substitution It's a like-for-like on the left-wing, as Doué comes on for his club teammate, Barcola.

Another Paraguay change Enciso also needs to go off after seemingly taking a knock. Caballero replaces the forward.

Injury for Alderete? The Sunderland defender looks to be in some discomfort and cannot continue. He is replaced Canale, who will slot into the Paraguay backline.

Great stop from Gill! He is called into action once again! Koné has time and space to shoot just outside the Paraguay box, and Gill has to scramble across his goal line to make a Hollywood save. So far, Koné's long-range efforts have been France's biggest scoring opportunities.

Mbappé is in! He races away on the counter but cannot control the bouncing ball. Moments later, a corner taken quickly sees Gill save from Dembélé, who decided to shoot from a very tight angle.

Corner for Paraguay Almirón pinches the ball off Upamecano after the Bayern man's poor chest control. His shot from a tight angle is deflected out of play for a Paraguay corner - which Maignan just about punched away for a throw-in.

More of the same The second period begins just as the first did - with France dominating the ball inside the Paraguay half.

Second half is underway The game is back on in Philadelphia. Can Olise be the difference maker this half?

Stoppage time There will be an additional three minutes of play at the end of the half. Paraguay continue to make life difficult for France, while also posing a threat on the counter.

Another France corner Koundé wins a corner-kick after his cross is blocked. Olise takes it, but Gill does well to palm the ball away from danger. France still haven't created a clear cut chance this half.

Mbappé goes down again The France forward is hit on the chest by Galarza as he makes a lung-busting run forward. Mbappé wins a free-kick for his troubles, while the Paraguay midfielder avoids a booking for the challenge.

Free-kick France Tensions boil over after Mbappé is fouled. Cubas brings the Real Madrid man down from around 25 yards out, who then retorts with a shove. The resulting free-kick is well dealt with by Paraguay. They have been exemplary at combatting all of France's set-piece routines.

Paraguay break away Almirón does brilliantly to drag his side up the pitch with a mazy run. The ball eventually falls to Gómez just outside the France box, but his skewed shot is well off target.

Play resumes Gill gets the game going again with a long goal-kick.

Hydration break The players have paused for three minutes to take on fluids.

Deflected shot Koné lets fly from around 20 yards out. His curled shot takes a wicked deflection off a Paraguay player and just about sneaks past Gill's far post. The resulting corner comes to nothing.

First booking Barcola swipes at the ball on the half-way line but ends up taking out Cáceres instead. The PSG man then picks up an early yellow card.

Olise sharp The Bayern midfielder's movement has been very clever in the opening exchanges. He is picked out by Dembélé down the right channel, but Olise can't quite trap the ball. He looks like the danger man so far.

Free-kick for Paraguay Almirón floats the ball into the French box, but Mbappé is well placed to head it away to safety.

Penalty appeal Rabiot falls to the ground inside the penalty area after a Paraguay defender bundles him over. The referee waves away his protests, however.

Defence vs. attack Paraguay have dropped into a very low block to try and deny France any space in behind. The 2018 world champions then win their first corner, which is well headed away by Velázquez.

France on the front foot Deschamps' side are already looking dangerous. Mbappé has the ball at the edge of the Paraguay box but is dispossessed well.

We're underway! The ball is rolling in this Round of 16 tie. Paraguay are in their familiar red and white, while France are playing in all-blue.

National anthem time Kick-off is just moments away at a scorching Philadelphia Stadium.

France subs Samba, Risser, Gusto, Konaté, Hernández, Hernández, Lacroix, Tchouaméni, Kanté, Zaïre-Emery, Cherki, Akliouche, Thuram, Doué, Mateta

Welcome! Follow all of the action as Paraguay take on France in this 2026 FIFA World Cup round of 16 tie at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia.

That seals it! Morocco have a third goal! After another superb counter-attack, Díaz rolls the ball across to Rahimi, who keeps his composure and slots the ball home to make it 3-0.

⚽ 90+8' Soufiane Rahimi (0-3)

It's not to be The ball gets caught in the wall. That's probably that for the Canadians...

Free-kick Canada Les Rouges have a decent chance to have a shot at goal from around 25 yards out.

Canada refuse to give up The co-hosts are not throwing in the towel and continue to push forward. There are around four minutes remaining.

Stoppage time Canada have an additional eight minutes to try and mount a stunning comeback.

Final changes for the co-hosts Nelson and Osorio are on for the final few minutes.

Double change for Morocco They are making another double substitution to try and take a few seconds off the clock. Diop and goalscorer Ounahi are going off.

Almost 3-0! Ounahi floats a delicate cross into the centre for Rahimi, whose header strikes the underside of the crossbar and bounces down just in front of the goal line. That would have been game over.

⚽ 82' Azzedine Ounahi (0-2)

Bono to the rescue! Directly after the double substitution, David shoots from a central position and forces Bono into a save. The resulting corner kick then comes to nothing.

Disappointing David runs up and balloons the free-kick well over the crossbar.

Free-kick Canada After a foul by Amrabat on Eustáquio, Canada are awarded a free kick right on the edge of the Moroccan penalty area. There is probably no better position to be in!

We're back underway The final 20 minutes are upon us. Canada are still yet to bring on captain Davies.

Break in play The referee begins the second hydration break.

Another one The newly introduced Larin attempts to reach a very short back pass played by Hakimi to Bono, but the keeper gets to the ball ahead of the Canadian and is subsequently fouled. Larin is promptly yellow carded.

Offside Ahmed plays the ball into the left channel to Buchanan, who has just strayed into an offside position. Chance wasted for Canada.

Canada also make a substitution Larin comes on for Oluwaseyi as the co-hosts search for an equalising goal.

Double change for Morocco Head coach Mohamed brings on Amrabat and Talbi for Bouaddi and Stuttgart's El Khannouss.

Penalty appeal After a long ball, De Fougerolles flicks it on to Buchanan, who goes down in the penalty area. However, as he was in an offside position, play continues with a free-kick for Morocco.

Corner for Canada The Maple Leafs play a simple long ball forward and win a corner from it. It's delivered to the far post towards De Fougerolles, whose header poses no danger.

Wasted chance On the counter, Díaz plays the ball somewhat inaccurately to Rahimi, whose cross is cleared for a corner. Unfortunately for Morocco, it comes to nothing.

⚽ 50' Azzedine Ounahi (0-1)

Yellow for De Fougerolles At the other end of the pitch, De Fougerolles takes out Rahimi on the right flank and is booked. He also gives away a free-kick in a dangerous area...

Corner for Canada Oluwaseyi wins a corner for his side after a counter-attack. The corner is played short and ultimately finds De Fougerolles, who stretches to poke the ball over the bar.

We're underway again With no personnel changes, the second half gets underway.

Stuttgart man booked El Khannouss goes in late on De Fougerolles and is shown a yellow card.

Stop-start game The match has been repeatedly interrupted by numerous small fouls in the final minutes, preventing any real sense of flow. There are just two minutes left to play before the break.

Stoppage time There will be six minutes of added time.

Ounahi goes into the ref's book The Moroccan midfielder catches Ahmed's leg from behind and, as such, becomes the latest player to pick up a yellow card.

Another booking David holds Díaz back and receives a yellow card for the foul.

Lacking a threat With half-time quickly approaching, the Moroccans have not had a single touch in the opposition's penalty area. They will need to do significantly more to progress to the next round.

Emotions are running high After a foul, a small scuffle breaks out. Hakimi and Laryea both pick up a yellow card.

Too casual Mazraoui loses the ball while dribbling down the left channel. Shortly after, he is put onto the back foot but is just about able to clear it into touch. That was a tad careless from the left-back.

No danger A corner from Eustáquio is once again cleared with ease by Morocco.

First Moroccan effort Bombito's pass is misplaced and goes straight to the feet of Rahimi, who attempts a shot from around 20 yards. Crépeau holds onto the shot with relative ease, however.

Back underway Play resumes with a free-kick for the Moroccans.

Drinks break Referee Michael Oliver calls for the first hydration break.

Saibari forced off The new Bayern signing goes to the ground in some pain and has to be substituted off moments later after a brief spell of treatment. It's a bitter blow for Morocco...

Early yellow card Oluwaseyi is stamped on by Halhal, who is subsequently booked.

Nice combination Canada combine well down the right flank, but Halhal is just about able to clear with a sliding tackle for a corner. The resulting corner kick finds De Fougerolles, whose header from a few yards out is blocked by a Moroccan player.

Huge chance! Ahmed plays the ball to Oluwaseyi in the penalty area, who skilfully leaves Halhal standing. Bono spreads himself wide in front of the Canadian and manages to prevent the shot from hitting the net. Best chance of the match so far!

Lively start After Morocco's early control, it is now Canada who are applying considerable pressure and pushing forward.

First corner for Canada Laryea drives down the left flank towards the penalty area and wins a corner against Díaz. Bono is able to punch it clear at the near post. The ball then falls to David, who fails to beat the Moroccan goalkeeper from a difficult angle.

Seeking control early on Morocco have taken charge in the opening exchanges, retaining possession well.

The ball is rolling Canada get the game started in Houston after a false start.

The anthems are playing The two national anthems are ringing out, in just a few moments the ball will be rolling!

The teams are coming out Led by referee Michael Oliver, both teams are now taking to the pitch.

Canada subs Choinière, Cornelius, P. David, Davies, Goodman, Jones, Larin, Millar, Nelson, Osorio, Saliba, Shaffelburg, St. Clair, Waterman

Morocco subs Amaimouni-Echghouyab, Amrabat, Belammari, El Kaabi, Mourabet, El Ouahdi, El Kajoui, Rahimi, Riad, Saadane, Salah-Eddine, Sbaï, Tagnaouti, Talbi, Yassine

Welcome! Follow all of the action as co-hosts Canada take on Morocco in the FIFA World Cup 2026 round of 16, kicking off at 7pm CEST in Houston.

Nearly the decider! Quintero, who has been superb since he came on, whips a cross from the left towards the back post. Ríos is arriving late but can't make a clean connection under pressure from a defender.

Added time There'll be six additional minutes.

Quintero almost with a stunner Driving forward down the right, Quintero unleashes a powerful, swerving strike from distance. It arrows towards goal but goes narrowly wide.

Last throw of the dice Ghana make their final two changes. Will they pay off?

Díaz can't quite reach it An inviting, whipped cross from the right by Ríos, aiming for Díaz at the back post. It just has too much pace on it, though.

Hydration break That attempt from Ghana is the last action before the referee signals that it's time for a brief interlude.

Wide from Partey Semenyo dribbles forward and goes past to or three defenders in one burst. His shot is blocked but the rebound falls straight to Partey, who attempts a long-range effort that is well struck but wide of the target.

Fresh legs Ghana have been playing more on the front foot in this half as they hunt for an equaliser.

Superb from Seidu Díaz sprints into space down the right and charges into the box, but Seidu matches him for pace and manages to muscle him off the ball.

Zigi to the rescue! Colombia get forward well again, this time with Puerta leading the charge. It's worked to Díaz, but his first-time shot is saved by Zigi.

Díaz goal disallowed! The Bayern man slides in at the back post and thinks he's put Colombia 2-0 up, but it won't count as he was just offside.

Semenyo fizzes one After darting into the box down the left, the Manchester City winger drills a low ball across the face of goal. It only needs a touch to go in but there's nobody there to take advantage.

Ghana more aggressive The Black Stars are closing down Colombia more quickly and aggressively than in the first half, but they're still not pressing very high up the pitch. A set piece looks to be their best hope of getting back into this one.

Ríos has a go Ríos, a half-time substitute for James Rodríguez, drills a low effort from the right, but it's no trouble for Zigi in the Ghana goal.

Here we go again! Ghana get the ball rolling.

What a save! Muñoz curls an inviting cross from the right and finds Mojica arriving at the back post. His downward header looks to be going in, but somehow the goalkeeper claws it off the line!

Six additional minutes We're into added time now.

Suárez off target Lerma cross from the right and finds Suárez lurking in the middle. His header is powerful but he can't direct it on target.

Semenyo tries his luck A first real spell of pressure from Ghana culminates in Semenyo shifting into space and attempting a curler into the top corner. It's deflected out for a corner, which comes to nothing.

Williams does well Harried by two defenders on the Ghana right, Williams twists and turns and manages to win a corner for Ghana.

Straightforward for Colombia The onus is on Ghana to equalise but they don't look in a massive hurry to do so. As such, it's making life very easy for Colombia at the moment, as they pass the ball among themselves without any pressure.

Back underway Will we see a change in approach from Ghana after that chance for a mini team talk?

Hydration break We'll be back in three minutes.

No change from Ghana Despite being a goal down, the Black Stars are still sitting deep and allowing Colombia to have the ball. That'll have to change the longer the score stays the same.

Díaz has a go The Bayern winger lets fly from just outside the penalty are but it's straight at the goalkeeper.

⚽ 14' Jhon Arias (1-0)

Substitution for Ghana too Senaya is forced off the pitch now as well. He appeared to hurt his right hamstring during that earlier tussle with Díaz.

First booking Arias goes in late on Williams and has his name taken by the referee.

Penalty appeal! Díaz charges forward down the left, cuts inside Senaya and goes down under the challenge. The referee waves for play to continue though.

Early change Córdoba can't go on and is replaced up front by Suárez.

Sitting back Much as they did against England, Ghana are sitting back very deep and inviting Colombia to try and break them down. They'll try to get forward on the break where possible.

Here we go! The ball is rolling in Kansas!

Out on the pitch The players and mascots are lined up on the pitch. We'll have national anthems and handshakes next.

Colombia subs Montero, Ospina, Machado, Ditta, Mina, Arias, Campaz, Portilla, Carrascal, Ríos, Castaño, Gómez, Suárez, Quintero, Hernández

Ghana subs Anang, Asare, Seidu, Adjetey, Mumin, Rahman, Peprah Oppong, Owusu, Boakye, Nuamah, Fatawu, Thomas-Asante, Bonsu Baah, Sulemana, Adu

Welcome! Follow all of the action as Colombia take on Ghana in the FIFA World Cup 2026 round of 32, kicking off at 3.30am CEST in Kansas.

Three minutes added on Time is running out for Cabo Verde...

So close! Argentina struggle to deal with a cross from the right and Benchimol stretches to reach it but can't quite get the touch he needs!

15 minutes left! Will we have a winner or will there be penalties?

Vozinha! A loose ball falls to Messi inside the box... it looks like game over as he smashes a left-footed shot at goal, but Vozinha gets down low to his left to keep it out. He's now made eight saves in this game!

⚽ 103' Sidny Lopes Cabral (2-2)

Passing sequence Cabo Verde have the ball and they're stroking it left to right and back again, but Argentina are compact and not allowing them through.

Álvarez blocked Messi's shot is blocked but the rebound falls to Álvarez, who shoots on the turn. His effort is blocked too, however.

Cabo Verde applying pressure Three consecutive corners, but they all come to nothing for the underdogs.

⚽ 92' Lisandro Martinez (2-1)

Peeeep! Cabo Verde get the first half of extra time up and running.

Vozinha to the rescue! Messi's low, curling free-kick takes a deflection but Vozinha still manages to react, looping the ball up in the air. Álvarez wins the rebound but his header is straight at the goalkeeper.

Prime location Messi is chopped down just outside the Cabo Verde penalty area, right of centre. It's the perfection position for a last-gasp free-kick winner...

Added time There will be a minimum of eight additional minutes.

Penalty appeal! Messi floats a cross into the box for Mac Allister, whose header is blocked by a defender. He appeals for handball but it cannoned off the defender's head before hitting his arm, so the referee waves for play to continue.

Messi probing The No.10 dribbles into the box on the right, cuts inside and tries to play a one-two with Mac Allister, but the Liverpool midfielder's touch is heavy and a defender steps in to intercept.

So close! Argentina drill a low ball across the face of goal. Fernández is lurking at the back post to tap it in but Lopes stretches out a leg and deflects it - only just - past the post. That was so close to an own goal there.

Ambitious Cabo Verde win a free-kick in a central position but it's a long way out. Pina nevertheless lines it up to shoot, but he doesn't catch the ball cleanly and it rolls out for a goal kick.

And we're back What surprises await us in the closing stages?

Hydration break With a little under 15 minutes left, Cabo Verde are still holding Argentina.

Stunning! Incredible - Vozinha isn't prepared, but the whistle has blown and Messi takes it, yet the goalkeeper somehow scrambles across to keep it out.

Free-kick for Argentina On the edge of the box, and Messi is preparing to take it...

Wide A Fernández volley on the edge of the box trickles harmlessly wide.

Vozinha! Messi breaks and is one-on-one with the Cabo Verde goalkeeper, but he stands tall and denies him. Great stop, and we are still all square.

Wow Cabo Verde are back on level terms! They started well here at the start of the second period and, after a clever through ball from Mendes, Deroy Duarte buries into the corner the day before his birthday. What a way to celebrate!

⚽ 59' Deroy Duarte (1-1)

Save Deroy Duarte has a sight of goal as the ball falls to him on the egde of the box. His shot is hit well, but Martínez gets down well to hold it. That was Cabo Verde's best chance so far.

Over Cabo Verde captain Mendes tries a volley from distance, but it goes well over the bar.

Strong start Cabo Verde have come out of the blocks quickly at the start of this period.

Up and running The second half is underway.

Denied Fernández gets a shot off from the edge of the box, but Vozinha gets down low to push the ball away to safety.

Looking for a response Cabo Verde are attempting to put Argentina under some pressure and are least moving up the pitch. No chances so far, though.

Dominating Argentina have the bit between their teeth now and look eager to turn the screw.

Just like that Give him an inch, and he will make the difference. Messi controls Martínez's ball over the top perfectly and fires beyond Vozinha for his seventh goal of this tournament and 20th at World Cups overall.

⚽ 29' Lionel Messi (1-0)

Hydration break So far, it Cabo Verde have managed to continue the reigning champions, who have managed just one shot on target.

Save Another Messi chance as he lines up a free-kick from around 30 yards. He gets it up and down over the wall, but Vozinha is there to collect it.

Wide Messi has his first chance of the game as he picks up the ball on the edge of the area, drives forward and drags an effort past the post from a tight angle. An early warning for Cabo Verde, though.

Even early stages While Argentina are dictating the game's tempo, Cabo Verde are standing strong defensively and looking to move forward when possible.

Looking to counter Even in these opening stages, Cabo Verde have shown a willingness to try and break quickly.

Argentina with plenty of the ball The favourites have seen the majority of the ball early on, as expected.

Underway We are up and running in this one - can Cabo Verde pull off one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history?

⚽ 120+3' Hossam Abdelmaguid (P) (3-5)

Crossbar A second Australian missed penalty means that Egypt only need to score one of their next two to go through.

A panenka! Would you expect anything different from Egypt's star man? What composure!

⚽ 120+3' Mohamed Salah (P) (3-4)

All level again Australia draw level again, although they have taken one more penalty.

⚽ 120+3' Awer Mabil (P) (3-3)

Good penalty Like Irvine, Rabia sends the goalkeeper the wrong way to put Egypt ahead once more.

⚽ 120+3' Ramy Rabia (P) (2-3)

Cool as you like Irvine sends the keeper the wrong way. Australia are on the board.

⚽ 120+3' Jackson Irvine (P) (2-2)

1-0 EGYPT A convincing effort from Saber ripples the back of the net. How can Australia respond, with Irvine up next?

⚽ 120+3' Mahmoud Saber (P) (1-2)

Over Souttar, who has been a rock at the back for Australia all game, fires over the crossbar. Advantage Egypt.

Big call Australia make a goalkeeping change, with Ryan coming on for Beach clearly with a penalty shoot-out in mind. Will that be the difference?

Time running out Egypt are currently on top, but they don't have long left to grab a winner and avoid a penalty shoot-out.

Block Souttar again puts his body on the line, this time to prevent Ashour's shot from going anywhere near the goal.

Deflected Attia's shot deflects off Souttar, but not enough that Beach can't react and hold the ball.

Here we go again The second half of extra-time is underway

Half-time of extra-time: Australia 1-1 Egypt Still nothing to separate the teams after 15 minutes of the extra 30.

Lacking end product Both teams are getting into dangerous positions, but the precision of the final ball has often been underwhelming.

Over The first real opening for Salah, but he can't keep his effort down. Given his high standards, he will be disappointed with that one.

Back underway The first half of extra-time is up and running.

What a save! Rabia gets on end of Salah's cross and looks certain to send Egypt through with a header, but Beach produces a remarkable save to push the ball behind for a corner. From that, Salah tries his luck after it is only half cleared, yet the stop for Beach on this occasion is far more routine.

Added time We will have five extra minutes.

End-to-end Both teams are pushing forward now, looking to find a winner. Still no clear chance for either, though.

Nervy There is plenty of tension in this one. A goal for either now would put them within touching distance of the next round.

Back underway Just under 20 minutes, plus stoppage time, still to play here.

Hydration break The second hydration break comes with this match evenly-poised. Both teams have reason to believe they can progress.

Double Egypt change Some fresh legs are brought on for this game's climax.

Australia level! The Socceroos' pressure pays off! A free-kick is played into a dangerous area in the box, and Hany can only turn into his own net. Game on!

Australia pushing Looking for a way back into the game, Irvine and Co. are dominating territory and possession right now. Can they find a way through?

Play restarts Rabia is back up and can continue.

Wide Metcalfe looks to turn the ball home at the back post, but can only push wide. In an attempt to win the ball, he collides with a Egypt player, who requires treatment.

HUGE chance! A massive opportunity for Marmoush to double his side's lead, but he can only stroke past the post with Beach to beat. Could he be made to pay for that?

Back underway The second half of this clash has started.

Strong end The Socceroos are exerting some pressure as the first half comes to an end. They have not had a clear chance as of yet, though.

Wide Volpato attempts to curl onto into the far corner. However, he doesn't get enough bend on it, and it goes past the post.

Dangerous from set-pieces Egypt are looking to use dead-ball situations to their advantage and have looked dangerous on occasion.

Save A first shot on target for Australia as Behiç fires towards goal. It's a comfortable save for Shobeir though.

Up and running Hany is ok to continue are we are underway once more.

Break in play Egypt's Hany is down injured and requires treatment, leading to a stoppage.

Hydration break At the first hydration break, Egypt hold a narrow advantage.

Ziko! A seemingly glorious opportunity for Ziko, who can only fire wide when one-on-one with Beach. His blushes, though are spared by the offside flag.

Marmoush shot blocked The forward looks to hammer home Egypt's advantage, but his effort is blocked by Souttar.

Egypt in front! The African nation's first chance ends in a goal! Hafez's cross into the box is met by Ashour, who heads beyond Beach in the Australian net. Work for the Socceroos to do now!

⚽ 13' Emam Ashour (0-1)

Getting their foot on the ball Egypt are enjoying a spell of possession here as they look to stamp their authority on the encounter.

Driving forward Bos pushes forward and almost carves out a chance, but Rabia intervenes in the nick of time. Australia are on the front foot.

Close! Almost a stunning opener for Australia, as Volpato curls a shot onto the crossbar from 30 yards. What an effort!

Fast start No chances for either side yet, but the teams are playing at a frantic pace.

Underway We are up and running as these two sides do battle for a place in the last 16.

15 minutes till kick-off Not long to be go before these teams do battle for a place in the last 16!

Late drama! Joško Gvardiol bundles in after Igor Matanović helps on a dangerous cross, but was the Freiburg forward offside? The referee will check this...

Almost there Nothing comes of the cross. The ball is now back in the Croatia half...

Last chance saloon Ivan Perišić wins a corner...

Time for a hero Andrej Kramarić - scorer of a club-record 158 goals for Hoffenheim - is sent on to rescue Croatia's World Cup campaign.

Late lead for Portugal! Josip Stanišić doesn't deal with Rafael Leão, who's allowed the time and space to float in a cross from the left. Substitute Gonçalo Ramos towers above his marker and plants a header into the back of the net to put Portugal within touching distance of the Round of 16.

⚽ 90+4' Gonçalo Ramos (2-1)

Ten added minutes Portugal are on the attack...

Inches away! Mario Pašalić meets a brilliant Petar Sučić cross with a downward header towards the far post, but he can't keep it on target.

Wide! Lady Luck continues to elude Renato Veiga, who glances wide from a corner.

Ronaldo makes way Is this the last time fans will see the Portugal great in action at the World Cup?

Another disallowed goal! Petar Sučić races away and finishes past the goalkeeper, but the flag goes up for offside.

Matanović! The Freiburg man does well to get a shot away, only for Diogo Costa to charge out to narrow the angle and make the block. He's made a real impact since coming on.

Wow! Mateo Kovačić powers through the Portugal midfield and drives a shot towards the bottom corner, but Diogo Costa gets the slightest touch to direct it onto the post before palming over the Croatia No.8’s follow-up.

"Siuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Ronaldo goes down the middle from the spot, and Portugal are level!

⚽ 68' Cristiano Ronaldo (P) (1-1)

Penalty check The referee heads to the pitchside monitor to take another look at a possible foul on Renato Veiga following a corner. It did seem like he was being held back as the ball came in...

Four Portugal changes Bruno Fernandes is among the players hooked, with Portugal trailing at Toronto Stadium.

Offside the decision Not much in that. Croatia still lead.

Ronaldo scores... Incredible first touch and a cute finish, but the flag's up. This'll be checked...

Woodwork! We have a real game on our hands in Toronto as Rafael Leão rattles the crossbar from 18 yards.

Disallowed goal! Croatia think they've scored a second as Igor Matanović converts from close range, but it's ruled out for an offside in the build-up. Huge let-off for Portugal.

⚽ 53' Ivan Perišić (0-1)

Denied! Mateo Kovačić drives through the Portugal defence and goes for goal, but Diogo Costa gets just enough on it to turn it behind for Croatia's first corner of the match.

Aerial presence Igor Matanović replaces Ante Budmir for Croatia. The 6'5" Freiburg striker scored 15 goals in all competitions in 2025/26.

Half-time: Portugal 0-0 Croatia It's goalless in Toronto, but Portugal have dominated and will feel they should be ahead. Croatia need to find a way to change the pattern of the game.

Wayward strike Another good ball from Pedro Neto is only half cleared, but Rafael Leão gets his attempted volley all wrong, sending it high over the crossbar.

One-way traffic Almost all the action is taking place in the Croatian defensive third as Zlatko Dalić's side survive a couple of dangerous corner-kick deliveries.

Getting closer Bruno Fernandes drives a cross-shot towards the near post, but Dominik Livaković parries it away. The ball comes straight back to the Portugal midfielder, before Ivan Perišić intervenes and puts it behind for a corner.

Almost! Nuno Mendes switches play brilliantly to João Cancelo. The former Bayern Munich full-back cuts inside and whips a ball into the six-yard box, where Cristiano Ronaldo is inches away from making the decisive touch.

Danger averted Former Wolfsburg defender Marin Pongračić dives full stretch to cut out Nuno Mendes’ cross, just before it can reach its intended target in the six-yard box.

Proceed with caution Rúben Dias is the first player to go into the referee's book after being penalised for an aerial challenge.

Huge opportunity! Renato Veiga is left kicking himself after rising completely unmarked to meet an inswinging corner, only to head over the bar. Croatia just can't get a foothold in the game right now.

Wall does its job More purposeful running from Rafael Leão wins Portugal a free-kick in a dangerous position, but Cristiano Ronaldo drives his effort straight into the wall.

CR7 lurking Cristiano Ronaldo gets his first sniff of goal from a Portugal corner, but the delivery is just beyond the reach of even the uber-athletic captain.

Warning shot Ante Budimir is unmarked as a low cross is played into the penalty area, but his shot lacks the power to beat Diogo Costa.

Ball's rolling! We're under way in Toronto. Both sides are sporting their change strips – Portugal in white and pale green, Croatia in two-tone blue.

Loud and proud Powerful support pours in for both teams, with Toronto home to large Portuguese and Croatian communities, whose passion is evident throughout the stadium.

Here they come Razor-sharp focus is etched across Ronaldo's face as the two teams stride onto the pitch at Toronto Stadium, the air pulsing with the sound of Shakira's 'Dai Dai'. That can only mean the national anthems are up next...

⚽ 89' Mikel Oyarzabal (3-0)

Off the line! Yamal shoots on the turn after a fine Spain attack, but Alaba clears it off the line.

Booked The Austria defender is cautioned after arriving late on Cucurella.

Wide from Posch! Sabitzer whips a teasing cross into the middle from the left. Posch darts in and beats Cucurella to the ball, but he can't direct it on target.

One-touch passing Lovely interplay from Austria on the edge of the Spain penalty area, working their way forward with some quick passing. The move culminates in Arnautović flicking the ball on for Chukwuemeka, but his shot goes wide.

Over from Torres Yamal swings a deep corner to the back post and finds the unmarked Torres, whose header goes well off target.

Scrappy Austria have upped the tempo in the last few minutes, knowing they need to go for broke. They're regaining possession aggressively and quickly, but Spain aren't backing down either.

Hydration break Three more minutes to take on fluids and get some tactical instructions.

⚽ 66' Pedro Porro (2-0)

Opening for Kalajdžić! He's only been on the pitch a matter of seconds but Kalajdžić has a great chance to equalise, leaping high to meet a cross in the box but he can only guide his head over.

Fresh legs More attacking changes from Rangnick and Austria as Arnautović and Kalajdžić come on.

Yamal in space Patient tiki-taka from Spain around the Austria box until it's worked to Yamal on the right. He shoots but it ricochets off Laimer and back onto his leg before bouncing harmlessly out of play.

Wide from Rodri The midfielder has plenty of space as he picks up the ball about 30 yars from goal in a central position. He lines up a shot but it's deflected wide for a corner.

Free-kick appeal Austria to to play their way out from the back but lose possession. Olmo strides forward and, on the edge of the box, as he's about to pass to Yamal, Danso bundles him over somewhat clumsily. He appeals for a free-kick but the referee waves for play to continue.

Oyarzabal form range Spain win the ball high up the pitch and Oyarzabal drives forward. He could slide in Yamal to his right but instead opts to shoot, but its straight at Schlager and lacks the power to beat him.

Peeeeeep! Here we go again as Austria kick off the second half. No changes from Spain at the interval, but Austria make two attacking substitutions.

Crossbar! Baena's brilliant 30-yard free-kick hits the crossbar, flies up into the sky and the rebound eventually comes back down inside the six-yard box to Yamal, whose first-time shot is well saved by Schlager.

Chance for Posch! Schmid robs Cucurella of the ball deep in the Spain half. They work the ball left and then into the middle, where the unmarked Posch is arriving. He has space to work in but his first touch is awful, and Rodri sweeps in to clear the danger.

Yamal causing mayhem again The 18-year-old, now in a central position, appears to be set to play a pass out to the left, before turning inside and into space for a shot. He lets fly with a right-footed effort but it's straight at Schlager in the Austria goal.

⚽ 36' Mikel Oyarzabal (1-0)

Schlager keeps Austria in it - twice! Two fine saves in quick succession from the Austria goalkeeper! First he denies Yamal, who squeezed past Laimer on the right, got to the byline and got a shot away from an acute angle. Spain regain possession on the rebound and work it to Oyarzabal, who creates space for a left-footed shot that Schlager does brilliantly to keep it out.

Posch to the rescue Olmo with an exceptional piece of skill, dragging the ball on the turn through Danso's legs. For a moment he looks to be in on goal until Posch slides in to smash it clear for a corner.

Back underway The referee gets the ball rolling again. Spain coach Luis de la Fuente pulled Yamal aside during the break to give him some instructions - we'll see what comes of it.

Hydration break The action will resume in three minutes.

Gregoritsch a whisker away! Sabitzer floats an inviting cross into the Spain box from the left. It looks perfect for Gregoritsch, but he mistimes his jump and can't quite make a connection. That could have been the opening goal there.

Pressing high Austria are showing no fear here, occasionally pushing high into Spain's half as they press to win possession. It's making for an entertaining spectacle.

Not parking the bus Spain have had those couple of early glimpses, but Austria are not simply sitting back. They've already got forward well, particularly down the left via Sabitzer, but haven't troubled Spain in the penalty area yet.

Yamal causing trouble Baena has space on the left but Yamal's pass is too slow, forcing his team-mate to check his run. Yamal doesn't give up though, and after receiving the ball again, darts into the box and tries to cross, but it's blocked for a corner.

Peeeeeeep! Spain get the ball rolling. Here we go!

Pre-match formalities The teams are out on the pitch and the national anthems are about to be sung.

Good effort! Mahmić hits one from range, his low, driven effort fizzing just past the post.

Close! Alajbegović cuts in from the left onto his right foot before searching for the far corner with his effort, which whistles past the far post.

10 more minutes Could we see an unlikely comeback?

Closing in The USA are just minutes away from confirming their place in the next round.

⚽ 82' Malik Tillman (2-0)

Ruled out Pulišić latches onto a loose ball inside the six-yard area before bundling it past Vasilj, but it's ruled out for offside.

Fighting back Now with a man advantage, Bosnia are starting to ask questions of the USA backline.

Demirović tests Freese The ball falls to him just outside the box, where he half-volleys it straight into Freese's grasp.

Possible red card Balogun catches Muharemović in a tussle for the ball, a challenge which the referee is now taking a second look at.

Can Bosnia turn the tide? With a triple change, the trailing side will hope they can apply some pressure of their own.

Džeko departs The veteran striker pulls up with an injury and is replaced by Mahmić.

Back for more! The second half is underway.

So close to a brace! Adams picks out Dest's back post run, who then heads it back across the box for Balogun to knock onto the bar from close range.

⚽ 45' Folarin Balogun (1-0)

Getting closer Pulišić flashes a ball across goal but it travels all the way through without a touch from a USA boot.

Offside! Balogun thinks he's opened the scoring with a low shot into the bottom corner, but he was offside in the build-up and the goal is ruled out.

Balogun's penalty claim He feints past Dedić inside the area before hitting the deck, with the referee waving away his shout for a spot-kick.

Close call Vasilj comes to punch McKennie's cross and does so, but knocks it onto the head of the onrushing Robinson. Luckily for Bosnia, the ball flies over the bar.

Balogun wide Robinson's cut-back finds the Monaco striker in space in the area, but his first-time effort bobbles wide of the near post.

Almost in! An in-swinging corner from Alajbegović almost catches Freese out but he reacts just in time.

Combative start Neither side has been afraid to stick a foot in so far.

Sight of goal Pulišić drives at the heart of the Bosnia defence before seeing his shot blocked from a central position just outside the box.

Dangerous free-kick position Sarr's shot from the edge of the box was blocked by Raskin's hand, giving Senegal a late chance for an equaliser.

⚽ 120+5' Youri Tielemans (P) (3-2)

Possible penalty Belgium could be awarded a penalty for a foul on Tielemans in the build-up to that last chance.

Golden chance! Moreira's first-time cross travels across the box to Lukébakio, who has time to take a touch before smahing his effort off the top of the bar from close range.

Stinging drive Sapoko Ndiaye hits a powerful shot from range but it's straight at Courtois.

Mbaye goes close! Sapoko Ndiaye drives down the right before cutting back to Mbaye, who can't guide his finish into the far corner.

Into the home straight The second half of extra-time has begun.

End-to-end Neither side appear keen on penalties, with both getting the ball forward as quickly as possible.

Fresh legs Senegal make a double change in an attempt to re-assert the control they displayed earlier in this contest.

Extra-time begins! Will we see a winning goal before time is up?

Into extra-time! Belgium pull of a surprise comeback to level the scores at 2-2, and we'll now enter 30 minutes of extra-time.

Ambitious effort Gueye lets one fly from range but can't hit the target.

Back on the charge Senegal are pushing to re-take the lead, but are up against a stubborn Belgian defence.

⚽ 89' Youri Tielemans (2-2)

⚽ 86' Romelu Lukaku (1-2)

Courtois to the rescue! Mané looks for the bottom left corner from the edge of the area but the Belgian 'keeper gets a strong hand to it.

Castagne heads wide He tries to guide his header back across goal into the far corner from an in-swinging cross from the right, but is a few yards off the mark.

Lukébakio! He cuts in from the right onto his left foot before trying to bend one into the far corner, and he's not far off!

Closing stages Senegal still look comfortable going into the final 15 minutes of normal time.

Hydration break And it appears to have come at the right time for Belgium, as Trossard and Tielemans get into a heated discussion.

Double change Can Belgium swing the momentum in their favour?

⚽ 51' Ismaila Sarr (0-2)

Diarra puts it wide! Mané bursts toward the byline before cutting back to the penalty spot where Diarra places his first-time finish wide of the near post.

We're back! The action resumes, with Belgium bringing in Lukaku in place of De Ketelaere for this second 45.

De Cuyper from distance! He tries to bend one in from range, but once again Diaw is equal to Belgium's efforts.

Good save! Doku buys himself a yard of space on the right side on the area before fizzing in a cross. It strikes a Senegal shin and almost loops in at the near post but Diaw reacts quickly to save.

Belgium probing De Cuyper gets into a good position down the left, but his cut-back cross into the box only finds a Senegal boot.

Senegal threaten Mané drives into the box but stumbles as he shoots and sees his effort roll into Courtois' grasp.

Time to respond It's all Belgium at the moment, but can they unlock Senegal's defence?

⚽ 25' Habib Diarra (0-1)

Lively contest Senegal continue to apply pressure to Belgium's backline, with the Red Devils looking equally threatening on the break.

Gueye from range A cleared cross comes to P. Gueye on the edge of the area, who volleys it first time. He doesn't catch it cleanly though, and sees it bounce into Courtois' arms.

Missed opportunity De Ketelaere receives the ball in space on the right-hand side of the area but waits too long to get a shot off. Senegal clear the ball but only as far as Trossard, whose tame shot is comfortably saved by Diaw.

Early possession Senegal have looked bright in these opening exchanges.

Off we go! Belgium get the action underway.

Narrowly over Wissa forces a foul from Bellingham right on the edge of the England box. The Newcastle United striker takes the set-piece, but curls the effort over the crossbar.

Stoppage time Another six additional minutes have been indicated at the end of the second 45. Stones replaces Rice for England.

Final changes DR Congo make their final substitutions of the game as they chase a late equaliser. Mayele and Kayembe replace Wissa and Masuaku.

⚽ 86' Harry Kane (2-1)

No way through Bellingham slaloms down the byline from the left side and attempts to cut it back to O'Reilly, but there are too many bodies between the pair and DR Congo manage to scramble it to safety.

Roof of the net From distance, Anderson lets fly with a powerful right-footed effort. It's always dipping, but can't quite drop in time and lands on top of the net.

Desabre responds Immediately after conceding, the Congolese manager makes a double substitution, introducing Bongonda and Kayembe for goalscorer Cipenga and Mukau.

⚽ 75' Harry Kane (1-1)

Tuchel rolls the dice With the hydration break having come to a close, Tuchel responds by making another substitution, introducing attacking midfielder Eze for defender Spence as England seek a way back into this game.

Hydration break The second half is halted to allow both sets of players to rehydrate.

First Conogolese change Desabre makes his first substitution of the day, withdrawing Mbuku for Elia on the right flank.

Quickfire corners Rice has three corners in quick succession, but none of his deliveries find any takers from his teammates in the middle.

Overcooked Anderson wins the ball back high up the pitch but his pass in behind for Bellingham to chase is too powerful and goes behind for a goal-kick.

Back underway! DR Congo get the ball back rolling for the second 45 here in Atlanta, Georgia. Neither manager has elected to make any alterations at the break.

Rice delivers The England midfielder delivers yet another deep corner towards the far corner where Harry Kane is waiting to meet it on the volley. The Bayern man strikes it well on the volley, but again the Congolese hero between the sticks, Mpasi, pulls off an excellent parry to deny him.

Bellingham denied Mpasi makes a magnificent save to deny Bellingham! Once again, an England cross from the right finds the Real Madrid man, whose header is brilliantly kept out by M'Pasi with a superb reflex save.

Stoppage time A minimum of six additional have been indicated.

How did that stay out?! DR Congo will feel they should have doubled their advantage! Wan-Bissaka fires a cross in from the right flank. It takes a big deflection off O'Reilly, which takes it into the path of Wissa. The Newcastle forward has the whole of the goal to aim for, but he can only hit the outside of the right post. Huge let off for England!

No takers Mbuku wins a corner off O'Reilly, but DR Congo don't manage to make anything of the set piece.

Headed to safety Rice delivers another set piece from the left side just outside the penalty area, but the DR Congo players stand firm and clear the danger collectively.

Off the line! Better from England. Madueke does excellently down the right byline from where he digs out a cross into the middle. O'Reilly can't get the connection he wants on it, but it falls to Rashford, who strikes first time. Mpasi was out of position, but his former teammate Wan-Bissaka is there to clear it off the line.

Cipenga threatening Goalscorer Cipenga is causing England all sorts of problems down the left flank. He dances past a couple of defenders and whips in a cross from the byline. Guéhi gets his head to it just in time, preventing Wissa from getting a shot away behind him. It was a crucial piece of defending from the England centre-back.

Agonisingly wide for Konsa From the resultant free-kick, Rice delivers a low cross. It bounces just in front of Konsa, who seemingly hadn't anticipated the ball reaching him, and allows it to bounce off his right knee. Even so, the contact nearly takes the ball past Mpasi and into the right side of the goal, but ultimately it whistles just past the right post.

Sadiki booked The DR Congo midfielder sees yellow for a late challenge on Spence.

Back underway Both sets of players have rehydrated and play continues.

Hydration break The referee calls a halt to proceedings to allow both sets of players to take on fluids.

Bellingham sought After some patient build-up play from England, another right-footed cross is sent in from the left by Rashford. It's aimed towards former BVB midfielder Bellingham but Mpasi does excellently to rush off his line and punch it clear.

In by Rice England's No.4 stands over his first corner of the game. The Arsenal man swings it in from the left, but it sails over everyone's heads in the middle and trickles behind for a DR Congo goal-kick.

Masuaku down Pickford sends a long ball into the Congolese penalty area, where goalkeeper Mpasi clatters into his teammate Masuaku, bringing play to a brief halt for an injury. Masuaku has since returned to his feet, however, and seems set to continue.

⚽ 7' Brian Cipenga (0-1)

Towards the far post Rashford cuts in off the left flank and aims a cross towards Madueke, who is arriving at the far post. However, the Arsenal man can't quite get there and the ball bounces harmlessly behind for a DR Congo goal-kick.

And we're off! The referee puts the whistle to his lips and Kane gets the ball rolling for this round of 32 tie.

Over from Mateta Doué curls a cross in from the right. Mateta takes it first time, but it bounces a bit too high and his shot goes well over.

Chance for Gyökeres! All of a sudden, Sweden could have one back. A driving run forward from Lindelöf culminates in Gyökeres receiving the ball in a pocket of space, 12 yards from goal. However, he places it too close to Maignan, who makes a good save.

Megastars go off The Swedish defence will be glad to see Mbappé and Olise going off. Cherki and Mateta aren't bad replacements though...

Great feet from Barcola Barcola executes a superb chop inside the box, taking two defenders out of the game, He could pull it back to the unmarked Olise but goes for goal himself, only to be thwarted by Zetterström.

Doué has a go A long, mazy run from the PSG winger ends with him drilling a low shot at goal that Zetterström gathers at the second attempt.

This could get ugly With Sweden set to get forward more in an effort to get back into the game, France are going to have more and more opportunities on the counter. It feels like more goals are coming...

⚽ 74' Kylian Mbappé (3-0)

Olise must score! Another counter from France and Mbappé releases Olise again, this time on the right. His touch is slightly heavy though, allowing Zetterström to come out and smother his effort.

And we're back Will Sweden be able to find a way back in the final 20 minutes?

Hydration break Time for some fluids and tactical tweaks from the coaches.

Hail Mary Sweden coach Graham Potter makes a couple of changes in a bid to change the flow of the game, but it'll take something extraordinary to get the better of this France side.

Olise almost in France burst forward on the break. Mbappé slides a pass in for Olise, who gets a shot away but Gudmundsson is well placed to bock for a corner.

Olise again The France No.11 has time and space to set himself for a shot, from close to the right-hand edge of the Sweden penalty area. It's well struck but the goalkeeper is equal to it and saves for a corner.

Olise menacing The Bayern winger is at the heart of things again, slotting a pass in for Koundé down the right. His cross-shot lacks power and precision though, and goalkeeper Zetterström gathers comfortably.

Wayward corner Sweden try to force their way back into the game by sending bodies forward for a corner, but the delivery is poor and it goes out for a goal kick.

⚽ 53' Bradley Barcola (2-0)

Cranking up the gears Olise has started threading a few passes, Dembélé has attempted a couple of dribbles. They've come to nothing so far, but it feels like only a matter of time.

Over from Tchouameni The France midfileder lines up a shot from 25 yards out, but he's leaning back and blazes it over.

Same pattern France have gone straight back to dominating possession, with Sweden again dropping back very deep.

Underway again France get things going once more.

Almost an equaliser! Elanga's pace gets him behind the France defence and he drills the ball across the face of goal from the right. It looks like being a tap-in for Gyökeres, but somehow Koundé gets there first to poke it clear.

⚽ 45' Kylian Mbappé (1-0)

Olise again! Olise drives in from the right and shoots, but Zetterström just tips it wide for a corner.

Firing at will France are creating chance after chance here, seemingly with every attack. First, Barcola gets in behind the defence but can't find a team-mate with his cutback, before Olise lets rip from range, his effort arrowing just wide.

Mbappé from range Olise finds Rabiot, who immediately plays it forward to Mbappé in the inside-left channel. He jinks inside and shoots from 25 yards out, but it's straight at the goalkeeper.

Mbappé hits the post! Dembélé slides the ball into the path of Koundé down the right. He cuts it back to Mbappé, whose first-time shot hits the post and then bounces to safety!

Training-ground routine Isak makes a diagonal run at a free-kick and gets to a cleverly worked free-kick, but Saliba is shadowing him and manages top block his shot.

Back underway The ball is in play again.

Break in play It's time for the hydration break.

Goal disallowed! Olise threads a pass through for Mbappé, who bears down on goal and slots it into the net. It won't count though, as Mbappé was offside.

Mbappé from range The France No.10 receives possession about 25 yards out. He lines up a shot but doesn't get much power behind it and it's an easy save for the goalkeeper.

Mbappé trying The France forward is dropping deep to pick up possession and try and make something happen against the deep-lying Sweden defence. His quick feet and pace give him pockets of space, but Sweden are alive to the danger and soon harry him.

Glimpse of an opening Ayari's pass out to the left allows Stroud to show his pace and take on Koundé on the outside. He gets a left-footed shot away but it's always rising and sails well over.

Olise crunched The Bayern winger gets sandwiched between two Sweden defenders and wins a free-kick, but it's in the middle of the pitch so no danger.

Burst of pace Sweden hoof the ball clear after a France attack and Elanga shows incredible speed, sprinting half the length of the pitch to get there ahead of Saliba. France get numbers back though, and the attack peters out.

Still settling We've had lots of long balls and possession switching sides early on, and not much else.

Peeeeeep! Sweden get the ball rolling. Here we go!

Coin toss The pre-match formalities are nearly done. We'll be up and running soon.

Teams out Here they come to the tune of Shakira's Dai Dai. The national anthems are up next...

France subs Samba, Risser, Gusto, Konaté, L. Hernández, T. Hernández, Lacroix, Koné, Kanté, Zaïre-Emery, Cherki, Akliouche, Thuram, Doué

Sweden subs V. Johansson, Nordfeldt, H. Johansson, Ekdal, Starfelt, Smith, Bernhardsson, Nygren, Sema, Karlström, Svanberg, Zeneli, Nilsson, Ali

Welcome! Follow all of the action as France take on Sweden in the FIFA World Cup 2026 round of 32, kicking off at 11pm CEST in New Jersey, USA.

Last chance saloon Fofana comes up for a final Ivorian corner. Diallo delivers it from the right, but Norway manage to scramble it to safety.

Diallo has a go From a free-kick around 30 yards from goal, the Ivorian goalscorer hits a stunning effort which seems destined for the top left corner, but for a brilliant fingertip save from Nyland.

Nyland troubled Konan tries to pick out Diomande at the near post with a lofted cross from the left flank. However, the left-back overcooks it and nearly ends up chipping Nyland, who has to backpeddle before swiping the ball clear of his goal-line.

Stoppage time A minimum of seven additional minutes have been indicated. Can Norway hold onto this slender lead?

Miscommunication Berg spearheads a Norway counter before playing Haaland in behind. With his back to goal and facing Schjelderup, the Manchester City forward attempts to hit it at the same time that Schjelderup looks to have a go. The combination of them both sends the ball flying wide of the mark.

⚽ 86' Erling Haaland (1-2)

Another change There's a like-for-like change for Norway at right-back as Aursnes replaces Pedersen.

Diallo down The Ivorian goalscorer is down receiving treatment. He has since left the pitch for further treatment, but appears determined to continue.

Space opening up With Norway now seeking a quick response, space is now opening up in the middle of the park. Côte d'Ivoire are continuing to threaten on the counter in the meantime. It's all to play for again here in Dallas.

⚽ 74' Amad Diallo (1-1)

We're back The hydration break has run it's course and play resumes. During the stoppage, Solbakken took the opportunity to make two changes, introducing Bobb and Schjelderup for Sørloth and Nusa as he looks to reenergise his forward line.

Hydration break The second half's designated stoppage is taking place.

Diomande delivers From another left-sided corner, Diomande sends another good cross into the Norwegian box. The Scandinavians win the initial header, but Diallo recovers the ball at the far post before swinging in yet another dangerous ball. This time, it's Haaland of all people who gets his head to the ball first to clear the danger for Norway.

Overplayed Play opens up for Norway and it's Ødegaard who drives at the heart of the Ivorian defence. With Sørloth to his right and Nusa to his left, he opts to play it to the Leipzig man, who shifts it on to the overlapping Møller Wolfe, but the left-back's cross towards the far post finds no takers.

Speculative Konan does well down the left flank from where he manages to deliver a cross. Norway win the initial header but it drops to Sangare, who tries his luck first-time from over 35 yards, sending his effort flying high into the Dallas sky.

No takers Some patient attacking play from Côte d'Ivoire culminates in Doué lashing a cross in from the right, which Nyland just manages to parry clear before any of his teammates can get on the end of it. The West Africans regain possession and win a corner, but Diomande's left-sided delivery is headed clear by the Norwegians.

Back underway! The whistle blows and the ball is once again rolling for the second half here. Neither manager has elected to make any changes at the interval.

Wouldn't have counted Pépé delivers a teasing cross from the free-kick, finding Agbadou's head in the middle. The defender's headed effort flashes narrowly wide of the left post, much to the surprise of many Ivorian fans in attendance. It wouldn't have stood anyhow, though, as the assistant referee had their flag raised against him for offside.

Nusa booked The goalscorer is the first player on either side to go into the book for a foul on Doué.

Stoppage time A minimum of four additional minutes have been indicated.

Glancing header From the resultant corner, Sørloth flicks the ball on at the near post, but it flies agonisingly wide of the far post. Haaland was there to try and turn it in, but despite stretching, the No.9 couldn't reach it.

Almost another! Norway certainly appear lifted by their opener and almost found themselves two goals to the good. Sørloth rose to meet a cross from the right and brilliantly headed the ball into Haaland's path, but the striker's left-footed volley from six yards out is blocked behind by Sangaré, who makes a fantastic intervention.

⚽ 39' Antonio Nusa (0-1)

Haaland leaps Sørloth does well down the right flank before delivering a cross towards the back post. He finds the head of Haaland, who leaps before heading back across goal, but it poses no real threat to Fofana's goal.

Another corner Diomande takes his side's sixth corner of the game. This time, he goes low to Bonny, but the striker gets crowded out before he can have a go.

In by Diomande Pépé leads a good counter-attack for Côte d'Ivoire, which results in the West Africans winning a corner down the left. Diomande takes, but Norway head it behind for another corner. The Leipzig man has a second attempt, but this time, Norway manage to clear.

Huge chance! Diomande stands Pedersen up on the left flank. The Leipzig winger makes space for a cross and picks out a great run from Pépé towards the far post, but the former Arsenal man can only guide his volleyed effort back across goal. Ajer comes across and puts it behind for a corner, however, but Côte d'Ivoire don't manage to capitalise on the set piece.

Play resumes Côte d'Ivoire get us back underway here.

Hydration break The players head for the sidelines to take on the necessary fluids here in Texas.

First corner for Norway Berg swings it in from the left for the Scandinavians, but it's headed away from the near post and Côte d'Ivoire look to break, however Diomande is fouled at the halfway line and the chance fizzles out.

Determined play from Diomande Down the left flank, the Leipzig winger rides a challenge from Pedersen to win his side a corner. The 19-year-old takes, but Sørloth is there to head it clear for Norway in the middle.

No way through Norway look to carve the West Africans open with captain Ødegaard looking to release Haaland with an incisive pass into the box, but again Côte d'Ivoire clear.

First corner Nicolas Pépé cuts in off the right flank and looks to fire a cross into the middle, but Heggem is there to make a vital block, conceding his side's first corner of the game in the process. Pépé takes again, but it sails over everyone in the middle.

Looking to break Norway are enjoying plenty of possession, but the West Africans manage to win the ball back and launch their first counter-attack through Bonny. Ajer's well-timed sliding challenge slows the striker down, though, and Norway are awarded a goal kick.

And we're off! The referee blows his whistle and the ball is rolling here in Dallas.

Anthems complete Both sets of players and fans delivered rousing renditions of their country's national anthems. The action is about to begin...

⚽ 120+3' José Canale (P) (4-5)

Neuer saves! That's why Nagelsmann brought back Germany's undisputed No.1 Massive stop to save his country's bacon. Who'll blink first?

⚽ 120+3' Nadiem Amiri (P) (4-4)

Lifeline for Germany! After Havertz and Woltemade efforts are saved, Sanabria drives wide. Germany need to score here. Amiri to take...

⚽ 120+3' Matías Galarza (P) (3-4)

⚽ 120+3' Jamal Musiala (P) (3-3)

⚽ 120+3' Gustavo Gómez (P) (2-3)

⚽ 120+3' Joshua Kimmich (P) (2-2)

⚽ 120+3' Maurício (P) (1-2)

Last chance?! Amiri sends a free-kick into the side netting. Germany fans will be hoping their team have their aim in, if this does go to penalties...

Penalties it is! The first shootout of World Cup 2026 - hold onto your hats!

Anton! Anton meets Germany's 16th corner of the game, heading straight at the goalkeeper.

Crunchtime The clock's ticking as Germany continue to be frustrated by the dogged Paraguay defence.

Havertz! Havertz flicks on a Wirtz cross, but Gill gets to the ball ahead of Woltemade.

Disallowed Tah heads in a Brown cross, but it's ruled out upon VAR review.

Final substitutions Striker Sanabria and Ojeda are the newest and final additions for Paraguay.

Target man Woltemade The striker is being sought out more and more now. Once again he gets on the ball and Gomez comes flying in and blocks. There are discussions afterwards, as Woltemade wants a penalty, which is not given. There was a hand involved, but so was the upper body, and the distance was also very short.

12th extra-time No team in World Cup history has had to play extra-time as often as Germany. They have won on three previous occasions, lost three, while five games remained level and went to either a replay or penalties.

Double block Woltemade lets fly from 15 metres, but it's blocked. The same goes for Goretzka, who had picked up the rebound.

Germany kick off The first half of extra-time begins with Germany kicking off and straight away moving deep into Paraguay's half again.

Fourth substitution The South Americans go into extra-time with Velázquez in place of Almirón.

An extra 30 minutes There's no winner inside 90 minutes in Boston, so we have the first extra-time of this World Cup to try and separate Germany and Paraguay.

The last attempt? Musiala whips a powerful cross into the penalty area. No takers. The second ball finds its way to Anton, who then commits a foul. That should mean extra-time.

Comes to nothing Paraguay also still have ambitions for a win in regular time. But a corner comes to nothing for a foul. Two minutes remaining.

Stoppage time Five minutes of added time to find a winner...

Promising Counter-attacking opportunity for Deutschland. However, Musiala cannot get his cutback right. Kimmich eventually gets a shot away but it's deflected behind.

World Cup debut Woltemade comes on for Sané. The striker's first minutes at this World Cup.

Offside Goretzka gets free at the near post from a Wirtz corner, but his header hits Anton in an offside position.

No space Germany are edging closer to the Paraguay penalty area more often in the second half, but there's a lack of end product. This time it's Kimmich, Goretzka and Brown who fail to get through.

Time to win it? Both round of 32 games so far have seen winners scored in added time.

No reason to intervene Goretzka is given a bit of a push as he goes up for a header and ends up miscuing. The referee and also the VAR in Dallas see no issue, though.

Third substitution Anton replaces Pavlović, allowing Kimmich to move into central midfield, with the BVB man covering at the back.

Havertz! So close! This time the move goes down the left flank with Wirtz crossing. Havertz times his jump as he goes for the right corner, but Gill produces an excellent stop to his left.

Fortunate Canale ends up flicking a Sané cross with the top of his head and is fortunate to see it fly into the hands of Gill.

Limited in attack Arguably the first extended spell of possession for Paraguay in the attacking third. However, neither a free-kick nor the subsequent corner come to anything.

Into the wall Sané takes charge of the situation, but the Paraguay wall jumps well. It leads to a corner, which is cleared. The second then comes to nothing for a foul in the box.

Intensity rising Another rough foul by the South Americans as Cubas gives away a free-kick around 25 metres out in a central position.

Musiala on Twice during the course of the tournament Undav came on for Musiala, now it is the other way around. The Bayern star, who was rotated out today, is supposed to provide the special moment.

Caballero with a header The South Americans push forward, as they naturally need to do a bit more now. The header, however, is harmless, and Neuer can collect the ball comfortably.

One intentional and one enforced substitution Paraguay make changes, first with Caballero coming on. Shortly after, Maurício is sent on as goalscorer Enciso is unable to continue.

Almost a quickfire double! Wirtz crosses again. This time Sané misses it, but the second ball falls to Pavlović. A Paraguayan defender's leg gets in the way of the powerful shot.

⚽ 54' Kai Havertz (1-1)

Same picture Germany are besieging the penalty area. Paraguay are sitting deep.

Only glimpses Germany's counter-pressing is good. Wirtz and Kimmich are quick to recover the ball after losing possession, but even in the first few minutes after the break there is a lack of conviction in attack.

No takers Sané whips a cross into the box. However, Undav and Havertz are unable to get on the end of it.

We're back underway Germany kick off, but lose possession of the ball rather quickly.

Goretzka for Nmecha Germany make a substitution at half-time as outgoing Bayern man Goretzka replaces Dortmund's Nmecha in central midfield.

Corner again Germany's fifth corner. Again it comes to nothing.

Germany again! Following another corner, Kimmich gets a shot off from a tight angle on the left, but he doesn't really connect and Gill can gather.

Nmecha! Via a series of deflections the ball somehow finds its way to Nmecha, who shoots first time, but the deflected ball trickles past the left post.

Mountain to climb Paraguay haven't lost a World Cup game in which they scored first since 2002 against Spain.

Stoppage time Five minutes of added time.

Now it gets really tough The lead will hardly discourage Paraguay from sticking to their disruptive style of play. Germany must now find a way through twice.

⚽ 42' Julio Enciso (0-1)

Lacking conviction After a short corner, Wirtz is actually in a shooting position, but he hesitates for too long. In the end, the ball is gone.

Pressing on point, accuracy not yet Brown wins the ball and it's quickly moved to Havertz out on the left. But he takes too long and then plays a rather sloppy pass to the edge of the penalty area.

Good idea Nmecha looks for Havertz between the lines, but the ball won't stick for him as he turns - slightly held by Canale - and it rolls through.

A test of patience Paraguay continue to sit extremely deep, defending in two clear banks of four just in front of their own penalty area. Good ideas are needed by Germany, who seem to be looking to Wirtz on the left to produce.

Sané offside A great long ball from Kimmich, but the winger is marginally offside.

Back under way Topped up with liquids, can Germany turn their dominance into a lead?

Hydration break Three minutes for you to have a drink and mull over the first quarter of this tie.

Paraguay slowing it down After a foul by Brown, goalkeeper Gill takes his time with the free-kick.

A planned routine Kimmich delivers the ball from the left corner to the far post. Tah cannot get a proper connection on it and a foul was called anyway.

Down the left Wirtz and Brown combine their way in behind. The latter's cross is blocked for a corner.

High tempo It is an impressive opening phase with two teams looking to push forward. Germany have taken control in the last few minutes, though.

Last-ditch defending Wirtz delivers brilliantly from the left into the six-yard box, where Canale gets to the ball one step ahead of Havertz. Corner for Germany.

Undav into the action First attempt by Germany as Undav is played in on the left, but his curling shot bends over the far corner.

First stoppage Gustavo Gómez got hurt in a challenge with Undav, meaning a brief stoppage.

Defending together The South Americans are really going for it early on. A quick transition moment and Enciso has a lot of space, but in the end Nmecha and Kimmich clear it together.

On the front foot A bold start by Paraguay. Julio Enciso drives forward down the left, and in the end his deflected shot goes behind for a corner.

We're off... Paraguay kick off this round of 32 encounter. France or Sweden await the winners.

A long time coming... The teams are out in Boston. It's Germany's first appearance in the knockout rounds of a World Cup since the 2014 final. But they have won eight of their last nine knockout games, losing the other 1-0 to Spain in the 2010 semi-final.

Undav starts! Julian Nagelsmann makes two changes following the 2-1 defeat to Ecuador as Nathaniel Brown (Eintracht Frankfurt) – back from injury – and Deniz Undav (VfB Stuttgart) come in for David Raum (RB Leipzig) and Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich).

Welcome! Follow all of the action as Germany take on Paraguay in the FIFA World Cup 2026 round of 32, kicking off at 10:30pm CEST in Boston.

Knockout blow?! Martinelli finds himself between two defenders as a ball is sent into the penalty area, and the finish is as good as they get - right into the corner. Brazil are moments from a place in the Round of 32!

⚽ 90+6' Gabriel Martinelli (2-1)

Six added minutes A lot can happen in that time...

Sugawara does his job Excellent defending by the substitute. The Bremen man gets the better of Vini Junior, winning the foot race along the left byline and clearing the danger.

Vin-decision Another solo run from the increasingly influential Vinicius, who can't quite make up his mind inside the penalty area. In the end, he opts for the square pass, which fails to find a teammate.

Drinks break The players have a chance to hydrate after a manic start to the half.

Both sides make changes Martinelli comes on for the ineffective Cunha. Japan shift to a slightly more defensive set-up as Sugawara replaces Dōan. It's one Bundesliga player for another.

Ueda tests Alisson After a slightly deflected shot from the left corner of the penalty area, the Brazilian keeper has to make a second save. He can't quite keep hold of the ball, however.

Japan remain dangerous on the counter Brazil are clearly more dominant, but the underdogs still have something to offer. Maeda gets past Danilo but plays the ball too far ahead of himself.

Fast-paced and all to play for The second half makes up a little for the rather monotonous first period. It's end-to-end...the match seems completely open.

Vinicius denied! What a moment from the dribbling maestro. Tomiyasu is left for dead with an ankle-breaker, and the chipped shot from a few yards out, coming from the half-left channel, is tipped onto the post by Suzuki. What a save that was!

Casemiro doesn't miss this time! The next cross, this time from Gabriel, flies through the penalty area towards the back post. Casemiro aims better this time and gives Suzuki no chance with a powerful header. That's the equaliser!

⚽ 56' Casemiro (1-1)

Casemiro denied! Brazil are growing stronger and really should really have equalised. After another cross goes into a dangerous area, this time Casemiro only needs to head it in from close range, but somehow three Japanese players, including the goalkeeper, clear it off the line.

Guimarães! Brazil's best player has their best chance of the game so far. Danilo delivers a silky cross into the crowded penalty area and the midfielder heads powerfully towards the right corner. Suzuki then makes a strong save to keep it at 1-0.

Lively start Endrick breaks free down the right and drives towards the box, but his through ball to Vinicius is overhit. Suzuki is there to collect.

Danilo booked The right back stops a Japanese counter-attack after shoving Maeda to the ground.

Tenacious play Even at the start of the second half, the Japanese aren't giving their counterparts any time to breathe.

The second half begins with a sub The injured Paqueta is replaced by top talent Endrick for Brazil.

Strong positioning The pace is lacking from Brazil. Cunha receives the ball in the centre of the pitch, but is immediately surrounded by three Japanese players and is dispossessed.

Injury Time There will be four minutes added on.

Tactical foul Former Frankfurt midfielder Kamada stops a counter-attack and is consequently shown a yellow card.

Brazil frustrated The favourites look tense. Japan are now pushing out well from the back and keeping Brazil away from their own goal. However, the Selecao still have plenty of time to get back on level terms.

Japan's tactical plan pays off Defensively, Japan head coach Moriyasu has come up with something pretty effective so far. Vinicius's side of the pitch is crowded, but the right side with Rayan has barely been exploited by Brazil. What remains are long-range, speculative shots.

Vini on the charge Vinicius tries his luck from distance, but this shot is too central. The reliable Suzuki holds on to the bouncing ball.

How will the Selecao respond? The favourites now really need to raise their game. The first response: an attack down the left flank, which ends in another free kick.

Debut goal It's Sano's first goal for his nation – and on this stage of all places. Not a bad way to do it...

⚽ 29' Kaishu Sano (0-1)

Shot for Japan Ueda rises high, but doesn't get enough control on the header and it goes well over.

Drinks break over The match is back underway. Japan win a corner straight away.

Sano in focus The Mainz player is once again at the centre of attention. Following his early booking, he has frequently been called upon and has been involved in many duels. In midfield, he had made a strong clearance in a follow-up challenge just a few minutes ago, but now near his own goal line he is somewhat fortunate that a tackle against Cunha goes unpunished once again.

Tactical phase Japan are sitting deep, lying in wait for counter-attacks. Brazil are trying to break them down through their play, but the underdogs are looking more composed as the match progresses.

Deflected Kamada wants to sneak the free kick under the wall, but the attempt is blocked and turned away for a corner.

Risky challenge Casemiro receives a card for a foul just inches outside his own penalty area.

Double chance! Brazil are growing stronger. Cunha's long-range shot is deflected by Suzuki around the left post, and from the resulting corner Guimarães heads just wide.

Sano picks up an early yellow card Not intentional, but clearly late. Sano stepped on Vinicius's foot and duly recieves the first booking of the match.

Dominant start Brazil have been much the better side so far. Guimarães has a go at goal again, but his long-range effort only finds the head of teammate Paquetá.

Dangerous free kick A Brazilian free kick from the left half-space floats into the penalty area. Suzuki is back in position but has to gather the ball at the second time of asking after trying to pluck it out of the air.

Suzuki to the rescue This time the attack comes down the left flank. Vinicius is played in behind the defence, but Suzuki rushes off his line and gets to the ball one step ahead of the Real Madrid superstar goalscorer. That was an important intervention from the Japanese keeper.

Guimarães opens up Brazil combine down the right flank. The deflected shot from the midfielder goes wide of the right post. Corner for the Selecao...

Kick-off The Round of 32 tie, the first real top-tier match of the knockouts, is underway!
