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.
