Great match and a late goal ⏰
Ivory Coast played a high-level match, with good attacks and shots off the woodwork. With things so evenly matched, either team could have come away with the win
And it went to Ivory Coast, through United’s Diallo, after a brilliant move by Singo in the 90th minute to seal the 1-0 win - see the highlights below.
🔥 German stroll with a record
Debutants Curaçao even scored - and there was plenty of celebration in the stands.
But that temporary 1-1 turned into another 7-1 for Germany.
The rout took the four-time world champions to 239 goals in World Cup history.
Surpassing the 238 of then-record holder Brazil.
👀 Watch out, Brazil!
If they advance to the knockout stage in 1st or 2nd place, Brazil could face the Netherlands or Japan.
Those two played a high-level clash, with the Japanese side twice fighting back to equalize.
They have now gone nine matches unbeaten against European national teams - with seven wins.
Meanwhile, the Netherlands reached 13 unbeaten matches at the World Cup, having gone through the 2014 and 2022 editions without losing in regular time.
That matched Brazil’s record, which had the same run from the 1958 World Cup until elimination in 1966.
