A rematch of a recent Men's World Cup final was arranged on TUE 27 JUN 2006.
» Brazil 03-00 Ghana: RONALDO scored his fifteenth Men's World Cup goal, surpassing Gerd MÜLLER's previous record of fourteen. But the Black Stars kept up with Brazil, and the only difference between the teams was Brazil's speed in breaking down the Ghanaian offside trap.
» Spain 01-03 France: David VILLA and Frank RIBERY swapped goals late in the first half, but the two goals in the last ten minutes each went France's way. Patrick VIEIRA and Zinédine ZIDANE were the scorers in Les Bleus' win.
