A match that had everything. An underdog taking the lead, a comeback, another twist and chances galore for both sides. What a game.
2: Norway 3-2 Senegal
Erling Haaland continued his fine start to his first World Cup with a second double of the tournament, but Senegal fought until the end.
3: England 4-2 Croatia
No bias here. Just a genuinely good game of football. Four goals in an entertaining first half before England produced a superb display after the break. Could have been more goals for both.
4: Netherlands 2-2 Japan
Both sides showed how dangerous they are going forward in a match that had you guessing right until the very end.
5: Netherlands 5-1 Sweden
The Netherlands were brilliant in a devastating first half – but Sweden created their fair share of chances as well.
6: Iran 2-2 New Zealand
Those who stayed up were rewarded with an absolute cracker as Iran twice came from behind to deny New Zealand their first World Cup win.
7: Spain 0-0 Cape Verde
Yes, we know it was 0-0 but what a 0-0. No-one expected the African minnows to have a chance but their gutsy display, and heroics of 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha, will live long in the memory.
8: Uzbekistan 1-3 Colombia
Colombia were full of attacking intent, Uzbekistan full of steel. A match many will have missed out on.
9: Australia 2-0 Turkey
A scoreline that far from tells the full story. Australia scored from two of their four shots on target, while Turkey wasted 30 attempts on goal.
10: USA 4-1 Paraguay
No-one was quite sure what to expect from the co-hosts but, 90 minutes later, they were left in no doubt the USA mean business.
