Belgium defeats Tunisia 5-2

Belgium's stars had goals in spades as Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku each netted a pair in the highest scoring match thus far. The side now has two wins, six points and a +3 goal differential. If England wins tomorrow, that goal differential will be very important when the two go head-to-head for the final group match next week.

Just six minutes into the match, Hazard converted a penalty. Ten minutes later, Lukaku made a great move to put Belgium up 2-0. But the two-goal lead didn't last long. Two minutes later, Tunisia was awarded a free kick about 25 yards out. Dylan Bronn headed the ball just out of reach of the Belgian keeper and Tunisa was determined to make it a game.

Hazard got his second of the game six minutes into the second half. Cutting through the two last defenders on a pass stretching nearly 40 yards, Hazard toe-poked it past a charging Tunisia keeper and followed through to put it in the net from 12 yards out.

Each side mustered two more late goal. One by Michy Batshuayi for Belgium in the 90th minute and one just before stoppage time expired by Khazri for Tunisia. In the end, Tunisia played well, but their forward pressure left gaps in the back that Belgium exploited on several long balls.

Goals

  • 6' - Eden Hazard, PK (BEL)
  • 16' - Romelu Lukaku (BEL)
  • 18' - Dylan Bronn (TUN)
  • 45' + 3' - Romelu Lukaku (BEL)
  • 51' - Eden Hazard (BEL)
  • 90' - Michy Batshuayi (BEL)
  • 90' + 3' - Wahbi Khazri (TUN)

Mexico defeats South Korea 2-1

Mexico surprised Germany with a win in their opening match. They are favored against South Korea. A win sets them up to go through to the knockout stage. Mexico is currently leading South Korea 1-0 ahead of halftime.

South Korea, on the other hand, direly needs a win. An upset victory over Mexico, combined with an expected German win later in the day, could make for an interesting three-way tie at the top.

Germany defeated Sweeden 2-1

Toni Kroos pulled off a stunning, game-winning goal to lift Germany over Sweden on Sunday. Kroos curled a right-foot shot in the fifth minute of stoppage time to put his team ahead.

Germany was flirting with elimination Sunday and needed at least a draw to compete in Group F.

  • 38' - Mile Jedinak (AUS)

Cards

  • 37' - Yussuf Poulsen (DEN)

France 1 – 0 Peru

France's win gives them six points and sole possession of first place in Group C. But don't count them champions of the group just yet; they play Denmark next week on Matchday 3.

Mbappe got the lone French goal in the 34th minute. It was an easy tap-in from a Paul Pogba shot that was deflected by Peru's keeper.

Peru had a few chances, including a shot from Aquino that rattled off the woodwork. But nothing went in for them. With their second loss, Peru is now mathematically out of the running.

France is by no means the clear group winner yet either. If Denmark wins the head-to-head match next week, they can still win the group.

Goals

  • 34' - Kylian Mbappe

Cards

  • 16' - Blaise Matuidi (FRA)
  • 23' - Paolo Guerrero (PER)
  • 80' - Pedro Aquino (PER)
  • 86' - Paul Pogba (FRA)

Argentina vs. Croatia

Croatia was on fire today taking the win from Argentina earning a second win. They now have six points and sit head and shoulders above the rest in Group D. In fact, after today, they are mathematically secure to advance to the group stage.

A mistake in the back by Caballero in the 53rd minute got the ball rolling. Rebic, with great form, shot an errant pass from the Argentine keepr and lobbed it into the back of the net. It was a horrible mistake by the keeper that Croatia converted well.

Luka Modric tallied Croatia's second from distance, surprising Argentina yet again. Two goals down, the game started to get chippy with two Argentine players receiving cards over the next seven minutes.

Rakatic sealed the game in stoppage time. Outclassing Caballero again, three Croatian players overpowered the Argentine keeper and a lone defender. The play needed a the video referee assistant to veryify it was not an offside play. In the end, the goal stood.

Croatia wins and is mathematically guaranteed to move on past the group stage. If Argentina were to win their next match, they would only have four points and their current -3 goal differential could make a big difference.

Goals

  • 53' - Ante Rebic (CRO)
  • 80' - Luka Modric (CRO)
  • 90' +3' - Ivan Rakitic (CRO)

Cards

  • 51' - Gabriel Mercado (ARG)
  • 39' - Ante Rebic (CRO)
  • 58' - Mario Mandzukic (CRO)
  • 67' - Sime Vrsaljko (CRO)
  • 85' - Nicolas Otamendi (ARG)
  • 87' - Marcos Acuna (ARG)
  • 90' +4' - Marcelo Brozovic (CRO)
