The historic FIFA World Cup 2026 tournament has now shifted to the Round of 32, where every match is now win-or-go-home. Japan got things started early on Monday with a 29th-minute goal from Kaishu Sano, but Brazil's Casemiro pulled Seleção even just after the half. Then, Gabriel Martinelli delivered the winner in stoppage time to send Brazil through to the next round.
Meanwhile, Germany and Paraguay engaged in a 120-plus minute thriller that ended 1-1 before a penalty shootout. The Paraguayans then pulled off an all-time stunner as it ended with several saves from Orlando Gill and Jose Canale sealing things with a kick from the spot.
The Netherlands and Morocco capped off the night with another penalty shootout in one of the most anticipated matches of the tournament. In the end, Morocco got the result they craved.
