<p><strong>Argentina vs Croatia Live Streaming FIFA World Cup Semi-Final 2022:</strong>The stage is set for the first semi-final of the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition, in Qatar. Lionel Messi-led Argentina will be up against the 2018 edition's runners-up Croatia on Wednesday (December 14). While Argentina entered the last four with a thrilling win over the Netherlands in the quarter-finals, beating them 4-3&nbsp;in the penalty shootout after a 2-2 scoreline following the end of regulation and extra time, Croatia went past Brazil with a 4-2 scoreline in the shootouts to reach this far.</p>

<p>For Argentina, the South American nation has reached the summit clash on five occasions;&nbsp;winning&nbsp;twice&nbsp;(1978 &amp; 86) along with being runners-up thrice (1930,90 &amp; 2014) in the showpiece event's history. They will be eager to make the most of this opportunity and win the trophy for Messi, who is playing his last World Cup in all likelihood. Meanwhile, Croatia have reached the top four on two back-to-back occasions and will give themselves a strong chance after having beaten tournament-favourites Brazil despite trailing 1-0 till the end moments of the final extra time. They managed to level scores and keep calm to win the penalty shootout and won't be an easy opposition for Argentina by any means.</p>

<p>Ahead of the semis, Sweden's&nbsp;Zlatan Ibrahimovic&nbsp;told reporters in Dubai on Monday (December 12), "I think it's already written who will win, and you know who I mean. I think Messi will lift the trophy, it's already written."</p>

<p>Argentina have made it to the final of the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition after beating 2018 runners-up Croatia 3-0 in the first semi-final on Wednesday (December 14). Lionel Messi &amp; Co. will now face the winner of France versus Morocco, who will lock horns in the second semi-final of the showpiece event on Thursday (December 15). Defending champions France will aim to keep their World Cup dreams alive by getting past Morocco whereas the latter have been one of the most impressive sides in the tournament and will like to proceed to the summit clash keeping their unbeaten streak alive.</p>

<p>Prior to all the drama and action in the second semi-final, France and Morocco haven't met on several occasions. Here's reliving their most recent face-off, which took place 15 years back in 2007:</p>

<p>Back in 2007, both sides had settled for a 2-2 stalemate in a match at the Stade de France, Paris. Morocco had gained a 1-0 lead by virtue of Tarik Sektioui, in the eighth minute, with France's&nbsp;Sidney Govou equalising the scoreline soon. In the second half, France earned a 2-1 lead courtesy of a goal from&nbsp;Samir Nasri before Youssef Mokhtari found the back of the net in the last phase of the game to enable a draw. So far, France and Morocco have met only on five occasions in international friendlies, with the former having a 3-1 lead. It is to be noted that they have never met in a World Cup.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It will be interesting to see if Morocco continue to be the giant killers after getting past some big teams in the competition so far. They have already beaten the likes of Belgium, Spain and Portugal and, hence, Kylian Mbappe-starrer France won't take them lightly by any means. On the other hand, France also have enough firepower and are being considered as favourites owing to their experience of the knockout stages.</p>

<p><strong>Predicted line-ups:</strong></p>

<p><strong>France:&nbsp;</strong>Lloris; Kounde, Varane, Upamecano, T Hernandez; Tchouameni, Rabiot; Dembele, Griezmann, Mbappe; Giroud.</p>

France vs Morocco, FIFA World Cup semifinal: Reliving last face-off between both sides in 2007

<p>Lionel Messi was at his best as he guided Argentina to the FIFA World Cup 2022 final, in Qatar, as the 2014 runners-up beat Croatia 3-0 in the first semi-final on Wednesday (December 14). From the South American side, captain Messi was expected to lead the show in the vital clash and the 35-year-old stood tall by scoring the opening goal, courtesy of a penalty kick, and then provided a magical assist to&nbsp;Julian Alvarez in the 69th minute of the contest.</p>

<p>Talking about Messi's splendid pass,&nbsp;the Argentina captain covered a lot of distance by running from the half-way line on the right flank. He ran with the ball to the side of the penalty box with&nbsp;Croatia's&nbsp;young defender Josko Gvardiol following him all the way to snatch the ball from the legend. It seemed as if it would be improbable for Messi to get past the defender but he showed his class by taking a stunning turn away from the goalpost and switched back immediately to outfox the young gun and pass the ball to Alvarez, who provided the finishing touch.</p>

Nonetheless, they have been on a winning streak since then and will hope to emerge on top one more time in the finale, which will be Messi's swansong at the World Cup.</p>

<p>Post the semi-final, Messi confirmed that the Qatar final will be his last WC appearance.&nbsp;"I feel very happy, to be able to achieve this, to finish my World Cup journey by playing my last game in a final," he said while talking to Argentine media outlet Diario Deportivo Ole.&nbsp;"It's many years for the next one and I don't think I'll be able to do it.

<p><strong>Your take on back-to-back WC semis for Croatia?</strong></p>

<p>Yeah, definitely a big moment. Second consecutive time for a country whom not many gave a chance. To date, Croatia have the lowest rate of expectations globally of standing any chance of going through the semis or winning the World Cup title. Most of them are very surprised with Croatia being here in the semis.</p>

<p><strong>'Croatian team is master of working football'</strong></p>

<p>Prior to our quarter-final game versus Brazil, an English journalist -- for whom&nbsp;I've a feeling was born in Croatia and living with us through our momentum and through the past decades -- said that Croatian team is master of working football. It is very interesting. It said that there is no team in the world as Croatia which can bring you down to its space and suck you in. That's exactly what has happened with our opponents in this WC.</p>

<p><strong>On Croatia's spectacular win over Brazil in the QFs</strong></p>

<p>Stimac stated, "We have the best midfield line in the world. So many teams will be outplayed. We have far better midfield line than Argentina. In each aspect of the game, technically and tactically, Croatia is very strong. If you ask me what is the strength of this Croatian side? I will say: <em>confidence, mental strength and resilience."</em></p>

<p><strong>How has Croatia reached this far?</strong></p>

<p>We are talking about collective team game, we are not taking about individual performances. The team is winning the games for us. Only great teams can expose any individuals. One great individual cannot take the team too far.</p>

<p><strong>How to beat Argentina: The referee angle</strong></p>

<p>Apart from keeping our momentum and style, we need to be very careful with the referee today. That's our main worry as we could clearly see what was happening in their last game, versus the Netherlands in the quarters (<em>Spain's Antonio Mateu Lahoz&nbsp;was slammed&nbsp;for making questionable decisions as he issued as many as total of 15 yellow cards in the intense clash</em>). I would be worried about not the game today but for football globally. I wouldn't like the referee to decide the fate of the contest today. We need to behave well and not give any reason whatsoever to help Argentina today.</p>

<p><strong>Modric vs Messi</strong></p>

<p>The clash will be a face-off between two modern-day greats in the form of Messi and Modric. Both have had a stellar run in international football and are on the verge&nbsp;of reaching the final in what is likely to be their last WC appearance. They have a lot of similarities as well. Messi, with&nbsp;95 goals in 170 internationals, was the best player in his side's second-spot finish in the 2014 edition. Modric was the best performer in 2018 when Croatia created history by reaching the finale. Who will make the difference today?</p>

<p>In this regard, Stimac opined, "I can clearly see Modric in a far better momentum as compared since the last four years. There are so many symphathies with Messi all over the world and most of the global pollution wants to see him lift the trophy but to do so, he will need to have the best game of his life. I don't think the Croatians will allow him to do."</p>

<p><strong>Any pressure on favourites Argentina and France?</strong></p>

<p>"You can clearly see that Argentina isn't accepting the role of favourites for today's game. They are giving it back to Croatia. They are not enjoying this (laughs). Anyway, we are not under pressure. We know what we need to do on the pitch. That's the most important thing," signed off Stimac.</p>

In each aspect of the game, technically and tactically, Croatia is very strong. If you ask me what is the strength of this Croatian side? I will say: confidence, mental strength and resilience." How has Croatia reached this far? We are talking about collective team game, we are not taking about individual performances. The team is winning the games for us. Only great teams can expose any individuals. One great individual cannot take the team too far. How to beat Argentina: The referee angle Apart from keeping our momentum and style, we need to be very careful with the referee today. That's our main worry as we could clearly see what was happening in their last game, versus the Netherlands in the quarters (Spain's Antonio Mateu Lahoz was slammed for making questionable decisions as he issued as many as total of 15 yellow cards in the intense clash). I would be worried about not the game today but for football globally. I wouldn't like the referee to decide the fate of the contest today. We need to behave well and not give any reason whatsoever to help Argentina today. Also read: EXPLAINED: Why could Messi be suspended from FIFA World Cup 2022 semifinal clash against Croatia? Modric vs Messi The clash will be a face-off between two modern-day greats in the form of Messi and Modric. Both have had a stellar run in international football and are on the verge of reaching the final in what is likely to be their last WC appearance. They have a lot of similarities as well. Messi, with 95 goals in 170 internationals, was the best player in his side's second-spot finish in the 2014 edition. Modric was the best performer in 2018 when Croatia created history by reaching the finale. Who will make the difference today? In this regard, Stimac opined, "I can clearly see Modric in a far better momentum as compared since the last four years. There are so many symphathies with Messi all over the world and most of the global pollution wants to see him lift the trophy but to do so, he will need to have the best game of his life. I don't think the Croatians will allow him to do." Any pressure on favourites Argentina and France? "You can clearly see that Argentina isn't accepting the role of favourites for today's game. They are giving it back to Croatia. They are not enjoying this (laughs). Anyway, we are not under pressure. We know what we need to do on the pitch. That's the most important thing," signed off Stimac.

<p>UK's Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), a data watchdog has opened an investigation into two official World Cup apps over the concerns that Qatari authorities may be using the apps to secretly spy on England fans.&nbsp;</p>

Cristiano Ronaldo said that Portugal were “too united to be broken by outside forces” after it was reported he had threatened to walk out of the FIFA World Cup 2022 after being benched against Switzerland.

Cristiano Ronaldo rubbishes walk out threat report

<p>The FIFA World Cup 2022 edition is living up to expectations. While the group stage saw plenty of upsets, the games are now going down to the wire in the knockouts. With the Round of 16 getting over, teams such as the Netherlands, Argentina, Morocco, Portugal, France, England, Brazil and Croatia have booked a place in the top eight, which will commence on December 09. While any two teams, from the top eight, can feature in the final showdown, here's how Argentina vs Portugal is a possibility in the summit clash which will be a mouth-watering affair&nbsp;with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo up against each other:</p>

<p><strong>How can Argentina and Portugal lock horns in the FINAL?</strong></p>

<p>It is to be noted that Argentina is set to meet the 2010 runners-up Netherlands in the quarters, on December 13. If they beat the Dutch line-up, Argentina will face the winner of the Brazil vs Croatia quarter-final clash, which is set to take place on December 09, in the semi-finals. Meanwhile, Portugal will face either France or England in the last four if they manage to get past high-flying Morocco in the quarters, on December 10. Thus, Argentina and Portugal won't meet each other in the semis but have a realistic chance to square off in the summit clash, which will surely send football fans into a frenzy.</p>

<p>Japan and Croatia played a humdinger of a clash in the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition, on Monday (December 05). After the scoreline was 1-1 post the end of&nbsp;extra time, the game headed to the penalty shootout.

<p>Japan, who impressed throughout the FIFA WC,&nbsp;bowed out with their heads held high.

While their R16 game didn't end in a desirable note, they made heads turn with their overall performances.

<p>The action continues in the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition with Portugal taking on Switzerland in the Round of 16 clash on Wednesday. After the likes of Argentina, France, England, Croatia, Netherlands have booked a spot in the quarter-finals, the onus will now be on Cristiano Ronaldo-starrer Portugal line-up to get the better of the Swiss team.</p>

<p>Talking about Portugal, they reached the Round of 16 with wins over Uruguay and Ghana before going down to South Korea, who have bowed out of the competition with 4-1 defeat at the hands of Brazil in their R-16 clash. Meanwhile, Switzerland defeated Cameroon and Serbia and lost to Brazil, by 1-0 deficit, to reach this far. They can certainly challenge the Portuguese line-up and rely on&nbsp;Granit Xhaka and Remo Freuler to&nbsp;play the anchors, from&nbsp;the midfield with Vargas and Shaqiri opearing from the flanks. Breel Embolo has been their in-form player and will like to come good once again.</p>

<p>From Portugal, the onus will definitely be on Ronaldo,&nbsp;Diogo Dalot, Pepe, Dias, Bruno Fernandes and Joao Felix. Overall, an exciting battle is surely on the cards.</p>

After the likes of Argentina, France, England, Croatia, Netherlands have booked a spot in the quarter-finals, the onus will now be on Cristiano Ronaldo-starrer Portugal line-up to get the better of the Swiss team. Talking about Portugal, they reached the Round of 16 with wins over Uruguay and Ghana before going down to South Korea, who have bowed out of the competition with 4-1 defeat at the hands of Brazil in their R-16 clash. Meanwhile, Switzerland defeated Cameroon and Serbia and lost to Brazil, by 1-0 deficit, to reach this far. They can certainly challenge the Portuguese line-up and rely on Granit Xhaka and Remo Freuler to play the anchors, from the midfield with Vargas and Shaqiri opearing from the flanks. Breel Embolo has been their in-form player and will like to come good once again. From Portugal, the onus will definitely be on Ronaldo, Diogo Dalot, Pepe, Dias, Bruno Fernandes and Joao Felix. Overall, an exciting battle is surely on the cards.

<p>England and Senegal will face off in the round of 16’s fourth match. Both sides have demonstrated their scoring capabilities in the group-stage matches.

Canada vs Morocco FIFA World Cup 2022 broadcast TV and OTT-live streaming: When and where to watch?

<p>Lionel Messi-starrer Argentina were in a do-or-die scenario when they squared off versus Robert Lewandowski's Poland in a vital group stage encounter at the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition, in Qatar. After losing to Saudi Arabia in their tournament opener and then beating Mexico, Argentina had to win to progress ahead into the Round of 16 and they managed to do that with a&nbsp; 2-0 scoreline versus the Polish line-up. Despite the defeat, Poland have also gone through to the next round.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Argentina-Poland clash lived up to expectations, with Alexis Mac Allister and Julian Alvarez scoring a goal each. Nonetheless, Messi could've also added to his goal tally but the 35-year-old missed an opportunity to score on a penalty kick, courtesy of Poland keeper&nbsp;Wojciech Szczesny's brilliant save. The Argentina captain earned a spot kick&nbsp;after he was fouled by Polish goalkeeper but he failed to make the most of the opportunity with Sczesny showing great composure and denied Messi from scoring by reading his move and stopping the ball by using a single hand.</p>

FIFA World Cup 2022 Rankings- Points table, team standings of all groups after day 11

<p>Australian football team needed a win versus the No. 10 ranked Denmark to progress ahead into the Round of 16 in the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Prior to the game, Australia were at the second spot in their group and had fate in their own hands knowing that a win will be enough for them to progress ahead in the mega event. A defeat would've ended their run and a draw would've put them in a difficult spot and pushed to a likely early exit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Nonetheless, the Aussies rode on&nbsp;Mathew Leckie as he scored the only goal of the match to help his side to a 1-0 win over Denmark and take them into the Round of 16 in a World Cup for only the second time. In 2006 edition, Australia had reached the last 16 for the first time. After the game got over, Aussie fans went berserk and celebrated wildly. The game ended at 4 am local time in Australia, however, the fans gathered in huge numbers and celebrated the side's victory in the streets in Melbourne. Here's a viral video of Aussie fans' celebrations after Australia made it to the last 16:</p>

FIFA WC: Australian fans go berserk as Socceroos seal a spot in Round of 16 with Denmark win - Watch

<p>Germany and Costa Rica will square off against each other in an important group stage clash in the FIFA World Cup 2022 edition, in Qatar, on Friday (December 02). Both sides have not been at their best and can't afford any more slip-ups if they wish to proceed to the last 16. While the Germans opened their campaign with a shocking 2-0 loss at the hands of Japan, they were much better in their face-off versus Spain, ending in a 1-1 stalemate. On the other hand, Costa Rica were hammered by Spain, 7-0, before they beat the Japanese, 1-0, to open the group.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ahead of the match, Germany coach Hansi Flick spoke on his future amid Germany's slim chances and spoke at length on the upcoming clash in a news conference. He said, "I can confirm it (I will be staying on) from my side but I have a contract until 2024 and I look forward to the home Euros (in 2024) but it is a long time until then. We want to kill off the game early so as to pile pressure on the other group game. They (Costa Rica) will be defensive most likely. We need to do it and we have to have the attitude we showed against Spain."&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added, "When you look at the table Costa Rica have a chance to reach the round of 16. A draw, and a win for Spain, is enough for them to advance. I expect from Costa Rica a defensive performance as they did it against Japan. We have to find solutions against that."</p>

<p>In terms of head-to-head, the Germans lead Costa Rica 1-0 courtesy of a 4-2 win over them in 2006. It is to be noted that Costa Rica have never defeated Germany on the international stage and will need to pull up its socks to trounce the Germans and create history.&nbsp;<strong>Here's everything you need to know about the clash:</strong></p>

<p>The FIFA World Cup 2022 edition, in Qatar, is living up to expectations with many twists and turns. All eyes are now on Argentina as they will lock horns with Poland in both sides' last group-stage encounter. It is a must-win game for Argentina as a defeat will surely lead to their early exit. Poland, on the other hand, also need to win but even a draw will help their cause. A defeat will leave them dependent on Mexico to beat Saudi Arabia and they&nbsp;pip the North American side in terms of goal difference. Thus, a lot to play for both sides.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For Argentina, they started their campaign versus Saudi Arabia and despite a 1-0 lead, they suffered a shocking 1-2 loss. After that, Lionel Messi &amp; Co. defeated Mexico 2-0 and will like to come out with their A-game in their remaining encounter versus Robert Lewandowski's men. The Polish side, on the other hand, started with a 0-0 stalemate versus Mexicans before emerging on top of Saudi, 2-0, hence, are better placed than Argentina at the moment.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Overall, it promises to be another enthralling battle in the FIFA WC, in Qatar, as two superstars Messi and Lewandowski will square off against each other.&nbsp;</p>

Iran and United States face each other today to make it to the top 16. In Group B, Iran stand at the second position with three points while the USA are at the third position with two points. Apart from this, the off-field issues have troubled USA and Iran in the World Cup.

FIFA World Cup 2022: USA take on Iran in a politically charged clash in Doha

The U.S. has infuriated Iran at the football World Cup. The U.S. team uploaded an incorrect version of the Iranian flag on social media, leading to a heated exchange with Iranians. Priyanka Sharma tells you more.

Gravitas: U.S.-Iran flag controversy at World Cup

<p>Cody Gakpo scored again as the Netherlands booked their place in the World Cup last 16 as group winners with a straightforward 2-0 victory over hosts Qatar on Tuesday. The Netherlands, needing just a point to be sure of progressing, put one foot in the next round inside the first half-hour as Gakpo scored for a third straight group game. Frenkie de Jong added another in the 49th minute as the Dutch cruised through in a flat atmosphere at the Al Bayt Stadium.</p>

<p>Qatar, already eliminated before kick-off, suffered the ignominy of becoming the first home team in World Cup history to finish the group stage without a point. Louis van Gaal's Dutch side ended with seven points at the top of Group A, while Senegal joined them in the knockout phase as runners-up after beating Ecuador 2-1. The Oranje will next take on the second-placed team from Group B for a quarter-final spot at the Khalifa International Stadium on Saturday.</p>

<p>England currently top that section and face Wales later on Tuesday, while the United States play Iran. All four teams are still in the hunt for qualification. The Dutch have made a solid start as they look to put the disappointment of failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia firmly behind them. Qatar signed off from their long-awaited home World Cup with a whimper, securing their place in the record books as the worst ever hosts on the pitch.</p>

<p>Van Gaal was able to give Memphis Depay his first start of the tournament as the Barcelona star continued his return to full fitness after a hamstring injury. It did not take the Dutch long to slice through the Qatar defence, although Daley Blind could only scuff a fourth-minute attempt straight at goalkeeper Meshaal Barsham. The opening goal arrived in the 26th minute as Davy Klaassen played in Gakpo after a neat move also involving Depay.</p>

<p>The PSV Eindhoven winger drove forward and drilled a low strike into the bottom corner from the edge of the box to score his third goal of the tournament. The three-time World Cup runners-up took advantage of shoddy Qatar defending to double their advantage four minutes after the break.</p>

<p>Depay was denied from close range by Barsham but De Jong reacted quicker than a ponderous Pedro Miguel to poke the ball home from barely a yard out. Substitute Steven Berghuis thought he had added a third midway through the second half, only for his goal to be ruled out after a VAR check for a handball by Gakpo in the build-up. There was brief excitement for the remaining home supporters late on when Mohammed Muntari prodded the ball into the net, but the whistle had long since gone for a foul on Virgil van Dijk.&nbsp; The Netherlands almost piled more misery onto Qatar in stoppage time when Berghuis' excellent curling strike from range hit the crossbar.</p>

<p><strong>Kalidou Koulibaly takes Senegal into knockouts</strong></p>

<p>Kalidou Koulibaly sent Senegal into the World Cup knockouts for just the second time in their history with the winner in Tuesday's dramatic 2-1 win over Ecuador. The Netherlands' dominant victory over Qatar meant only a win would see Senegal through to the knockouts from Group A, while Ecuador would have progressed with a draw.</p>

<p>Senegal opened the scoring through Ismaila Sarr's penalty late in the first half, but despite managing to keep Ecuador captain Enner Valencia quiet throughout, Brighton's Moises Caicedo levelled in the 67th minute before Koulibaly sent his team through and Ecuador home. Senegal manager Aliou Cisse promised before the game his experienced side "would not overthink" the occasion and it was the Africans who opened the game furiously, with Everton's Idrissa Gana Gueye lashing the ball just wide of an open goal after only three minutes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Less than a minute later, Ecuador goalkeeper Hernan Galindez needed to bail out his side's high backline, sliding in to stifle a counter well outside his box.&nbsp; On the 10 minute mark, Senegal's Boulaye Dia found himself one-on-one with Galindez, but he cut the ball just wide of the post.</p>

<p>Seemingly sparked into life by Senegal's fierce opening, Ecuador pushed forward and won a free-kick 30 metres from goal, with the South Americans taking the opportunity for a rare breather before Valencia slammed the ball into the wall. &nbsp;</p>

<p>After the furious opening exchanges, both sides began to settle and the first half looked set to end goalless before Ecuador defender Piero Hincapie clattered into Sarr, giving referee Clement Turpin no choice but to point to the spot.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sarr stepped up and coolly dispatched a fine spot-kick past Galindez, maintaining eye contact with the keeper as the ball went in.&nbsp; Ecuador started the second half fresher and more determined, perhaps reassured that the Netherlands' dominance over Qatar meant they only needed a draw to go through. From a free-kick, defender Felix Torres rose high to head the ball on to Caicedo, who was waiting at the far post and slammed the ball home.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Senegal struck back immediately and in almost identical fashion, with Koulibaly lurking unmarked at the far post following a free-kick which was deflected into his path by Hincapie. Coming into the match on a yellow card, Gueye picked up a second-half booking and will miss Senegal's last-16 game against the winners of Group B.&nbsp;</p>


Cody Gakpo scored again as the Netherlands booked their place in the World Cup last 16 as group winners with a straightforward 2-0 victory over hosts Qatar on Tuesday.

Senegal opened the scoring through Ismaila Sarr's penalty late in the first half, but despite managing to keep Ecuador captain Enner Valencia quiet throughout, Brighton's Moises Caicedo levelled in the 67th minute before Koulibaly sent his team through and Ecuador home. Senegal manager Aliou Cisse promised before the game his experienced side "would not overthink" the occasion and it was the Africans who opened the game furiously, with Everton's Idrissa Gana Gueye lashing the ball just wide of an open goal after only three minutes. Less than a minute later, Ecuador goalkeeper Hernan Galindez needed to bail out his side's high backline, sliding in to stifle a counter well outside his box. On the 10 minute mark, Senegal's Boulaye Dia found himself one-on-one with Galindez, but he cut the ball just wide of the post. Seemingly sparked into life by Senegal's fierce opening, Ecuador pushed forward and won a free-kick 30 metres from goal, with the South Americans taking the opportunity for a rare breather before Valencia slammed the ball into the wall. After the furious opening exchanges, both sides began to settle and the first half looked set to end goalless before Ecuador defender Piero Hincapie clattered into Sarr, giving referee Clement Turpin no choice but to point to the spot. Sarr stepped up and coolly dispatched a fine spot-kick past Galindez, maintaining eye contact with the keeper as the ball went in. Ecuador started the second half fresher and more determined, perhaps reassured that the Netherlands' dominance over Qatar meant they only needed a draw to go through. From a free-kick, defender Felix Torres rose high to head the ball on to Caicedo, who was waiting at the far post and slammed the ball home. Senegal struck back immediately and in almost identical fashion, with Koulibaly lurking unmarked at the far post following a free-kick which was deflected into his path by Hincapie. Coming into the match on a yellow card, Gueye picked up a second-half booking and will miss Senegal's last-16 game against the winners of Group B.

After losing to Ghana 3-2 on Tuesday, the South Korean team left the field in tears.

Brazil, who are already five-time world champions, has now successfully qualified for the Round of 16 and still has a game against Cameroon in their group stage of the competition.</p>
