Another exciting day of FIFA World Cup action saw England deliver one of the tournament’s most entertaining performances, while DR Congo made history by earning its first-ever World Cup point.
Portugal struck first against DR Congo through João Neves, but that would be the only goal the Portuguese side could manage. DR Congo responded with a second-half header from Yoane Wissa to secure a 1-1 draw, giving the nation its first goal and first point in FIFA World Cup history.
One of the tournament’s best matches so far came between England and Croatia. Harry Kane scored twice in the opening half, but Croatia answered each goal to send the teams into halftime tied 2-2. England eventually pulled away after the break, scoring two more times to earn an impressive 4-2 victory.
Ghana and Panama appeared headed for a scoreless draw before Caleb Yirenkyi broke the deadlock in the closing minutes, lifting Ghana to a dramatic 1-0 win.
Colombia closed out the day with a dominant performance against Uzbekistan. Luis Díaz led the way with a goal and an assist as Colombia cruised to a 3-1 victory, adding a late insurance goal to secure all three points.
The tournament now moves into the second round of group-stage matches.
