Old and new stars scored, and a new milestone was reached, on WED 20 SEP 2006.
» Costa Rica 01-02 Poland: With both teams on the way out, Bartosz BOSACKI scored two goals to relegate los Ticos to last place.
» Ecuador 00-03 Germany: Both had secured passage out of Group A, but Germany took top spot with an impressive win that featured Lukas PODOLSKI's first goal of the tournament.
» Paraguay 02-00 Trinidad-Tobago: Needing a win and some help, the Soca Warriors were instead skewered on Brent SANCHO's header into his own net. Nelson CUEVAS scored late to ensure Paraguay's third place finish in Group B.
» Sweden 02-02 England: Marcus ALLBÄCK scored the 2,000th goal in Men's World Cup history, but England will be more concerned with the fourth minute injury to Michael OWEN's right knee.
