Miami FC keeper Room pulled off a record-equalling 15 saves to keep out the South Americans in Group E. The 37-year-old was in stunning form to match USA goalkeeper Tim Howard's record for the most saves in a World Cup game. Howard made 15 saves against Belgium in 2014 in a match that went to extra time (also conceding twice in a 2-1 defeat) - but Room's clean sheet earned Dick Advocaat's side a historic draw. His first save came after just three minutes and was arguably the best of the night as he kept out Enner Valencia from close range. John Yeboah was next to be denied before Room saved again from Valencia among six first-half stops. Room was even busier after the break as he denied Moises Caicedo, Pedro Vite, Kevin Rodriguez, Nilson Angulo, Gonzalo Plata and others. Curacao did have a great opportunity of their own on the hour mark but Leandro Bacuna's strike was saved before Liviana Comenencia had an effort turned away. Ecuador will rue their missed chances - with 27 attempts in total - and must beat group winners Germany in their final game to progress to the knockout stages, having lost to Ivory Coast in their opener. Curacao - who lost 7-1 to Germany in their first game - could also qualify for the last 32 if they beat Ivory Coast in their final match.

After a tumultuous week in which they suffered a 5-1 defeat by Sweden, sacked Sabri Lamouchi and appointed ex-Saudi Arabia boss Herve Renard as head coach, it took less than four minutes for them to go behind in Guadalupe, Mexico. An impressive Japan, who were well drilled throughout, broke the deadlock with a quick counter-attack which ended in Crystal Palace's Daichi Kamada prodding home from close range at Monterrey Stadium. It did not take long for a dominant Japan side to inflict a second blow as Ayase Ueda produced a lovely finish to arrow the ball through the legs of a defender and into the far corner from the edge of the box. Tunisia looked devoid of ideas for much of the game and gifted Japan ample space, which they used to display their free-flowing possession-based style. Junya Ito added another when he rolled a simple finish past Tunisia goalkeeper Aymen Dahmen after being threaded through one-on-one. Ueda wrapped up victory when he tucked a looping header into the far corner. Japan were constantly a cut above and were never threatened by a Tunisia side who were pedestrian and had every attack easily neutralised. Japan have four points and are likely at least to progress as one of the best third-placed sides, but they will hope to earn a guaranteed spot in the last 32 when they take on Sweden on Friday in their final group game. Tunisia play the Netherlands, who are top of the group, at the same time.

The four-time winners endured a frustrating outing after going behind to a 30th-minute goal from Ivory Coast captain Franck Kessie but Julian Nagelsmann turned to his bench in search of a response - and Undav delivered emphatically with a second-half double. The Stuttgart forward applied a smart finish to fellow substitute Nadiem Amiri's cross to break Ivory Coast's resistance in the 68th minute before scoring the winner in the 94th minute to inflict a painful defeat on the African nation. Undav had also scored a goal and provided two assists after coming off the bench in their 7-1 opening win against Curacao. The dejected Ivorians can still progress from Group E behind Germany with a win against World Cup debutants Curacao in their final game. Emerse Fae's side impressed with their energy and directness early on in Toronto, but it was Germany who carved out the clearer of chances. The Germans had the ball in the back of net in the 22nd minute through Aleksandar Pavlovic but his header from a corner was ruled out for a foul on goalkeeper Yahia Fofana. Ivory Coast then took the lead as their exciting 19-year-old winger Yan Diomande found Amad Diallo, whose close-range effort was blocked by Nathaniel Brown only for Kessie to convert the rebound. Germany's frustration grew as Havertz had a goal disallowed for a foul on Emmanuel Agbadou by Jamal Musiala in the build-up while an unmarked Christ Inao Oulai and Kessie spurned chances to double the Ivorians' lead. Those misses ultimately proved costly as they were undone by the injury-time winner from Undav. Fofana had kept out efforts from Brown and Amiri late on but there was nothing he could do as Undav expertly trapped a pass from Felix Nmecha and slotted past the goalkeeper on the turn to break the Ivorian hearts in the dying seconds.

Sunderland's Brian Brobbey and Liverpool's Cody Gakpo scored two goals apiece for Ronald Koeman's side, with relegated West Ham's Crysencio Summerville adding a fifth for the Dutch. Sweden's consolation goal came from Newcastle's Anthony Elanga. Brobbey was a surprise inclusion in the Dutch line-up at the expense of Summerville, who impressed and scored in the 2-2 draw with Japan, but the Black Cats forward took little time in repaying the faith of Koeman. In the fifth minute the Netherlands went from one end of the pitch in just seven touches - Brobbey took down a long ball from goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, played it to Gakpo on the left wing, and then charged into the penalty area to convert the winger's low cross. Brobbey netted his second 12 minutes later when he stabbed home from Denzel Dumfries' low cross after getting goalside of Sweden defender Isak Hien. Sweden thought they had halved the deficit in first-half stoppage time when Gustaf Lagerbielke nodded into an empty net after beating Verbruggen to a free-kick, but the offside flag went up. Sweden's mini-fightback was quashed less than two minutes into the second half when Gakpo tapped in at the back post from another dangerous Dumfries delivery across the face of goal. Gakpo scored his second in the 54th minute when Summerville - brought on at half-time - drove forward and set the Liverpool man up to drill a low shot past Kristoffer Nordfeldt in the Sweden goal. That strike took the goals scored at this World Cup to 100 in 33 games, the fastest a century has been reached since the 1958 edition (32 or 33 games as both were played simultaneously). Graham Potter's Sweden pulled a goal back five minutes later when substitute Elanga ran on to a through ball and lifted his shot past Verbruggen. Summerville capped an impressive second-half cameo with a late run and strike into the bottom corner. The Netherlands go top of Group F with four points, while Sweden will likely need a result against Japan in their final group game to secure progress to the knockout stage.

Paraguay took the lead after just 64 seconds when midfielder Matias Galarza fired in from outside the area to score the fastest goal so far in this tournament and what turned out to be the match-winner. Almost from that point onwards, however, it was one-way traffic as Turkey piled forward in search of an equaliser. Their hopes were boosted when former Newcastle United midfielder Almiron put his hand over his mouth in a confrontation with Turkey defender Mert Muldur during first-half stoppage time. After a video assistant referee review, Salvadoran referee Ivan Barton brandished a red card - as part of a new rule introduced before the World Cup. Both sides came into the game on the back of defeats with Paraguay thrashed by hosts USA 4-1 while Australia beat Turkey 2-0 - meaning there was an edge to the meeting with so much on the line, which led to a fiery contest. Despite their complete dominance, Turkey managed just one shot on target from 12 attempts, while a deflected header from Muldur hit the bar and the post. Merih Demiral did test Orlando Gill after the break before substitute Deniz Gul wasted a great chance with a close-range header that was straight at the Paraguay goalkeeper. Can Uzun forced Gill into a fine save late on before Gul somehow turned wide the rebound, although it was likely it would have been ruled out for offside to somewhat spare his blushes. Turkey had 30 attempts on goal against the Socceroos in their first game and a further 32 here but could not find a way through against the 10 men in the second half and remain goalless in this tournament. They cannot progress now after two defeats, while Paraguay know if they beat Australia in their final Group D game, then they will be through to the knockout stages.
