Day nine at the World Cup saw more sides book their ticket to the last 16, while we were also treated to some thrillers.
We look back on the best of what happened and what lies ahead on day 10.
There were plenty to choose from but it has to be the early kick-off finally delivering on the action front.
In the last such game of the tournament, Cameroon and Serbia put on a classic which ended 3-3 with plenty of twists and turns and a quite outrageous finish from Vincent Aboubakar.
He may have felt he was offside which led to the chip but it was outstanding nonetheless.
There’s a time and a place. This was neither.
It is quite hard to believe that no South Korean had ever pulled this off before.
Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes is having a quietly outstanding start to the tournament.
In a bid to harness some of the magic from Ronaldo for himself, Rodrygo couldn’t help himself.
Who can blame him?
The third and final round of group stage action gets underway with the last games from groups A and B.
The Netherlands, Ecuador and Senegal are all in with a chance of qualification in the early kick-offs while later, each side from England, Iran, USA and Wales all still harbour hopes of progression.
Whenever Wales need Gareth Bale to step up, he often delivers.
Never have they needed him more than against England on Tuesday night, with their hopes of World Cup progression hanging by the thinnest of threads.
Even if they are to be eliminated, it would make for a memorable journey home if they can get one over on their neighbours.
