๐ซ๐ท France 3-0 Sweden โ Olise Masterclass
France cruised into the last 16 with a commanding performance at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Michael Olise was the star, delivering a midfield masterclass that earned him a 9/10 rating. The Bayern Munich sensation was involved in everything, creating chances at will and providing assists for both Barcola and Mbappe.
- First half: Kylian Mbappe broke the deadlock from a clever set-piece, curling an unstoppable strike into the far corner.
- 52′: Bradley Barcola made it 2-0 after Olise threaded a pass through a defender’s legs.
- 75′: Mbappe completed his brace โ his sixth goal of the tournament, matching Lionel Messi’s tally โ after another inch-perfect Olise through-ball.
France will now face Paraguay in the last 16. Didier Deschamps’ men are starting to look ominous at exactly the right time.
๐ณ๐ด Norway 2-1 Ivory Coast โ Haaland the Inevitable
In Dallas, Erling Haaland once again proved why he’s football’s most clutch striker. Peripheral for long stretches, the Manchester City star popped up with just four minutes left to bundle home the winner and send Norway through to the last 16, where they’ll face Brazil.
- 43′: Martin Odegaard assisted Antonio Nusa, who bent an unstoppable strike into the far corner.
- 70′: Amad Diallo equalized for Ivory Coast, skipping past a defender and finishing from close range.
- 86′: Patrick Berg squared to Haaland โ the ball bounced off him and into the net for the winner.
Amad almost saved Ivory Coast with a sublime free-kick in stoppage time, but Orjan Nyland’s save secured Norway’s historic progress.
