🇦🇺 Australia 2-0 Türkiye 🇹🇷
Australia were organised in the back and scored on the break to frustrate Türkiye into a tournament-high 30 shots that didn't result in much.
Could they do the same to the United States to take control of Group D?

Nestory Irankunda's night may be over after an electric goal on the break to open the scoring, but we wrote about him before the tournament started.

Gráfico legal da @OptaAnalyst sobre a Seleção Brasileira contra Marrocos.
As bolinhas representam o posicionamento médio dos jogadores em campo; as conexões entre eles mostram a frequência dos passes.
Fica bem claro a ideia dos três zagueiros na construção de bola, também os três meio campistas..
Vinicius ficou mais “isolado” ali na esquerda enquanto Raphinha e Igor Thiago ficaram mais próximos. Porém o Vini foi mais acionado.

Scotland haven't lost any of the previous five World Cup matches they led at half-time, but Haiti haven't exactly been shy going forward. Can they turn this around and keep CONCACAF unbeaten in the tournament?

🇧🇷 Brazil 1-1 Morocco 🇲🇦
Great idea for a film, but the director didn't know how to end that one.

A stoppage-time header from captain Boualem Khoukhi earns Qatar their first ever World Cup point.
The Swiss pay for their wastefulness. Their total of 26 shots was the most they have had in a World Cup game on record (since 1966).

Brentford's Igor Thiago starts up front for Brazil in their 2026 World Cup opener against Morocco.
With an average age of 29 years and 235 days, it is Brazil's oldest starting XI for a World Cup match since their 2006 quarter-final against France (30y, 31d).
