I’M ZINÉDINE ZIDANE, AND GOOBNET REALLY KNOWS HOW TO GET AHEAD
Day 5 recap
[MON 18 JUN 2018 – 20:11:57 UTC]
European sides continued their strong performances at the 2018 Men’s World Cup on MON 18 JUN 2018.
- Sweden 01-00 Korea Rep: An ill tempered match in Nizhny Novgorod witnessed more than twenty fouls on each side, the only such match so far at this tournament. Sweden captain Andreas GRANQVIST scored the only goal on a penalty awarded on a video review. Sitting level with Mexico atop Group F, Sweden face title holders Germany on Saturday, following a Korea Rep-Mexico clash.
- Belgium 03-00 Panama: The Cañaleros were up to the task in their first appearance at a Men’s World Cup, but Belgium’s quality told in the end. Shortly after the interval, Dries MERTENS volleyed home from the corner of the area to put the Red Devils in front. Romelu LUKAKU would add two more to secure the victory and top spot in Group G.
- Tunisia 01-02 England: Harry KANE scored on a rebound from Tunisian keeper Farouk BEN MUSTAPHA to put England ahead in the eleventh minute, but the Carthage Eagles responded through a spot kick by Ferjani SASSI in the 35th. Despite enjoying the majority of possession and of the scoring chances, England could not muster another goal until stoppage time, when Harry MAGUIRE headed a corner onward to Kane, who made no mistake with his own header. The dropped point may prove costly for Tunisia, who must face Belgium in their next Group G match on Saturday. England meet Panama on Sunday.
