The World Cup 2026 round of 32 is well underway, with late drama and shocks aplenty.
Co-hosts Canada became the first team to seal their spot in the last 16 on Sunday, winning a knockout game on football’s biggest stage for the very first time as Stephen Eustaquio’s stoppage-time strike saw off South Africa in Los Angeles.
They will next face 2022 semi-finalists Morocco, who held their nerve in a chaotic penalty shootout to dump out the Netherlands after a tense 1-1 draw in Monterrey.
That was after Germany had fallen victim to the biggest upset at the tournament so far, suffering their maiden World Cup penalty shootout loss as they were shocked by Paraguay following another 1-1 draw.
It continued a horror run for the four-time winners since their last success in 2014, falling at the first knockout hurdle after back-to-back group stage exits to pile the pressure on head coach Julian Nagelsmann.
In Houston, Brazil got a last-minute winner from Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli as unlucky Japan went down 2-1 in another thrilling contest, while France barely broke a sweat in dispatching Sweden 3-0.
