The Blue Sharks finished in second place on three points in their debut tournament, a point above two-time winners Uruguay and 2034 hosts Saudi Arabia. Bubista's side will face defending champions Argentina in the last 32 at Miami Stadium on Friday, 3 July. Cape Verde looked most likely to score, with Willy Semedo's shot well-saved at the near post, before he smashed another effort wide. Saudi Arabia defender Hassan Al Tambakti fell to the floor with no other players around him and had to be taken off on a stretcher with half an hour played. Shortly after the break, Kevin Pina's shot from outside the box narrowly missed the top corner as Cape Verde looked to open the scoring. With 15 minutes remaining, Saudi Arabia goalkeeper Mohammed Al Owais kept his side's hopes alive when he thwarted a shot from Laros Duarte who was running clear through on goal. But in the end Cape Verde advanced to set up a monumental match with Argentina in just under a week, as they became the third African nation to remain unbeaten in the group stages on their tournament debut.

The Lions of Teranga finished third in Group I with three points to climb to fifth among third-placed teams, but they will still need results elsewhere to go their way to secure a place in the last 32. Senegal played a near-perfect game in Toronto as they looked to bounce back from defeats by France and Norway, and the result pushed Scotland down to ninth in the table of third-placed sides - with eight to advance to the next round. That did not mean Scotland's hopes were absolutely at an end, as later games could still influence their standing, but they were rapidly fading. Fast-starting Senegal opened the scoring after only four minutes. Abdoulaye Seck's header from a corner took a decisive deflection off Sunderland midfielder Habib Diarra on its way past Iraq goalkeeper Ahmed Basil. Iraq's problems were compounded nine minutes later when referee Anthony Taylor sent off defender Rebin Sulaka for pulling down Sadio Mane at the edge of the penalty area - deeming it denial of a goalscoring opportunity after a video assistant referee review. Mane tested Basil from the resulting free-kick, but Pape Thiaw's side, who needed goals to improve their goal difference and thereby their chances of progressing to the next stage, failed to register another shot on target in the first half. But they capitalised on former Manchester United midfielder Zidane Iqbal giving away possession at the edge of the box as Lamine Camara cut the ball back for Ismaila Sarr to apply a simple finish to make it 2-0 in the 56th minute. Their lead was extended three minutes later as Pape Gueye curled a left-foot strike into the top corner - his first involvement after coming on moments earlier. Villarreal defensive midfielder Gueye added his second goal with another thunderous effort in the 71st minute before fellow substitute Iliman Ndiaye sealed the 5-0 win, that they would hope will be enough to send them through to the knockout stage.

Pre-match hopes that this game would be an epic showdown between Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe were quashed by the arrival of the teamsheets. Norway manager Stale Solbakken made 10 changes after two group victories, including resting Manchester City forward Haaland. But into the narrative void stepped Dembele, who delivered the second-fastest men's World Cup hat-trick ever with three goals of the purest quality. It was the first time a player had scored three goals in the opening half of a match in the tournament since Russia's Oleg Salenko in 1994. And it was the second-quickest World Cup hat-trick ever from the start of a match, behind Erich Probst's 24-minute treble in 1954 for Austria. France assistant coach Guy Stephan, who led the team with manager Didier Deschamps having returned home following the death of his mother, said Dembele had been in part inspired by criticism from the French media. "Ousmane is a human being, just like anyone he can hear the criticism," Stephan said. "He has unfortunately had injury issues but every time he comes back harder and harder. Three goals in a World Cup game is exceptional." France completely dominated the early stages and deservedly broke through in the seventh minute. Having won the ball in Norway's half, Mbappe spread it wide right to Dembele in space. The Ballon d'Or winner squared up his marker and slammed home past Egil Selvik. It was 2-0 in the 20th minute when Dembele completed a lightning counter-attack by cutting off the right-hand side on to his wizardly left foot and whipped a curling shot into the far corner. Norway struck back within 79 seconds, the French defence declining to respond to an attack straight from the kick-off which ended in Rangers attacker Thelo Aasgaard sweeping the ball past a wrong-footed Mike Maignan. But Dembele was far from done, as he moved himself into contention as the tournament's top scorer with his fourth goal. Again he cut on to his left foot and, with four surrounding defenders paralysed by fear, curled another effort past Norway reserve keeper Selvik. Dembele was subbed off after 65 minutes as the tempo dropped after the break, but his Paris St-Germain team-mate Desire Doue stepped up to add a fourth in the 94th minute with a looping header.

Kaan Ayhan's prodded finish with the last kick of an entertaining contest won the match for Turkey, who had fallen behind inside three minutes. With Hollywood stars including Brad Pitt, Ed Norton and Owen Wilson enjoying a party atmosphere in the stands, the co-hosts had made the perfect start despite making nine changes to their line-up, with Celtic defender Auston Trusty driving a low shot past Turkey goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir after being left completely unmarked at a corner. His strike, which arrived just two minutes and 13 seconds into proceedings, is the second quickest goal ever scored by the US at a World Cup, after Clint Dempsey's effort 30 seconds into a game against Ghana in 2014. However, Vincenzo Montella's side - who had lost their two opening games - soon settled. Arda Guler equalised with Turkey's first goal at this year's finals with a close-range finish from Baris Alper Yilmaz's reverse pass. And Orkun Kokcu's shot then appeared to flick off Yilmaz's thigh at the end of a sweeping move down the left, which again involved the impressive Real Madrid midfielder Guler, as Turkey turned the match around. Mauricio Pochettino's side returned from the half-time break with more intensity and levelled courtesy of Sebastian Berhalter's 20-yard effort into the bottom left corner. Substitute Christian Pulisic went close on three occasions as the US searched for a winner, with Cakir reacting brilliantly to tip one of those efforts against the post. At the other end of the pitch, Kenan Yildiz curled wide and Yilmaz lost his footing when he seemed well positioned to score, before Ayhan turned home Can Uzun's touch towards goal at the death. While they will now go home after ending up bottom of the group, the United States, who secured top spot with their win over Australia, are scheduled to face Bosnia-Herzegovina in the last 32 of the competition on 2 July at 01:00 BST in Santa Clara.

Winning the group sets up a tie with Group C runners-up – and 2022 semi-finalists – Morocco in Monterrey at 02:00 BST on Tuesday. Ronald Koeman's side were ahead before the clock had reached the three-minute mark as Tunisia captain Ellyes Skhiri turned a Denzel Dumfries cross into his own net. Sunderland's Brian Brobbey then added the second, grabbing his third goal of the tournament, when he tapped in from close range after Virgil van Dijk nodded a delivery across the face of goal. The Netherlands rarely needed to get out of first gear as they continued to get the better of a lacklustre Tunisia, dragging them out of position with ease and carving out chances. But a defensive lapse allowed Tunisia to pull one back in the second half as Manchester City's Tijjani Reijnders lost track of his man from a corner, allowing Hazem Mastouri to send a header into the bottom corner. Jan Paul van Hecke restored the Dutch's two-goal advantage as he nodded a corner towards goal at the near post which flicked off a Tunisia defender before going past the goalkeeper. Tunisia finish bottom of Group F with three defeats, having conceded 12 goals in the process.
