Friday, the 26th, brought excitement to the 2026 FIFA World Cup with four thrilling matches.
In the opening games of the day, Mbappé and Dembélé showcased their skills in a dominant performance against Norway, who played without Haaland on the bench. France secured a convincing 4-1 victory.
Meanwhile, Senegal finally found their form in the tournament, thrashing Iraq 5-0 and positioning themselves as potential contenders for advancement as one of the best third-placed teams!
Later in the evening, Spain claimed a minimal 1-0 win over Uruguay, solidifying their status as group leaders.
Uruguay, on the other hand, faced disappointment once again, exiting the World Cup at the group stage.
The victory for La Furia was facilitated by a glaring error from goalkeeper Muslera, which triggered a wave of mockery on social media!
Additionally, Cape Verde held Saudi Arabia to a 0-0 draw, securing their place in the knockout stage for the first time in their World Cup history!
