The FIFA World Cup saw three more groups decided today, with plenty of drama on the pitch.
Ecuador kicked things off with a massive result that put them in prime position to qualify for the Round of 32, as they beat Germany 2-1, while Ivory Coast also qualified for the knockouts with a 2-0 win over Curaçao.
The Netherlands topped their group with a 3-1 win over Tunisia, while Japan and Sweden are also through to the Round of 32 after their 1-1 draw.
In an inconsequential game in Group D, Turkiye beat the USA 3-2, while Australia finished second in that group after their 0-0 draw against Paraguay, who aren't confirmed to go through yet, but are in a good position to qualify.
