MATCH SUMMARY
Morocco booked their place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup quarter-finals with a commanding 3–0 victory over co-hosts Canada in Houston. Canada started brightly and created several first-half chances, but Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou produced key saves to keep the match scoreless at the break. Morocco took control after halftime when Azzedine Ounahi opened the scoring in the 50th minute with a superb strike from a set-piece routine. Ounahi doubled the lead in the 82nd minute after excellent work from Brahim Díaz, who later assisted Soufiane Rahimi for a stoppage-time third. The win sends Morocco through to the last eight.

MATCH SUMMARY
France advanced to the 2026 FIFA World Cup quarter-finals with a hard-fought 1–0 victory over Paraguay in Philadelphia.

The breakthrough came in the 70th minute when Kylian Mbappé converted a penalty, scoring the only goal of the contest. France controlled possession and created the better chances, while Paraguay struggled to generate clear opportunities against a disciplined French defence. In front of a crowd of 68,324, Les Bleus held on comfortably to secure a quarter-final clash with Morocco.

GAME 3 – Brazil 1 NORWAY 2
Norway produced one of the biggest upsets of the 2026 FIFA World Cup by defeating five-time champions Brazil 2–1 in the Round of 16 at New York New Jersey Stadium. Brazil had opportunities to take control but wasted a first-half penalty when Bruno Guimarães was denied by goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland. After a scoreless opening 78 minutes, Erling Haaland struck twice in quick succession, first with a powerful header and then with a clinical long-range finish. Neymar pulled one back from the penalty spot deep into stoppage time, but it was only a consolation. Norway advanced to their first-ever World Cup quarter-final.
