Belgium-Tunisia : 5-2
Les Diables Rouges secured their spot for the round of 16 as they outclassed Les Aigles de Carthage. Used as an attacking full-back, Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco helped his side to clinch a second win in a row.
South Korea-Mexico : 1-2
Included in the starting XI against Germany, Guillermo Ochoa, Hector Moreno and Hector Herrera have started the game against South Korea and fired “El Tri” to their second successive win.
Germany-Sweden : 2-1
Andreas Granqvist and his teammates endured a cruel outcome as the Germans scored a late goal to clinch the win. This is frustrating for the Swedish players who took the lead in the first half.
England-Panama : 6-1
The Three Lions hammered the Panamanians ! Jordan Pickford has started the game as well as Ruben Loftus-Cheek. The latter has been involved in the sixth goal scored by England !

Kalidou Koulibaly and Les Lions de la Teranga can have some regrets as they were held to a draw. Keisuke Honda came off the bench and netted the equalizer for the Samurai Blue after 77 minutes. Thanks to his goal, the Pachuca midfielder made history as he becomes the first Asian player ever to score 4 goals in the World Cup.
