The weekend got underway with some fantastic action across north America. The Netherlands set the tone for a day of high drama as they put five goals past Graham Potter’s Sweden, with Brian Brobbey and Cody Gakpo both coming away with braces.

Germany followed suit with a similarly entertaining fixture as they came from behind to beat the Ivory Coast. Franck Kessie opened the scoring in the first-half and despite their best efforts, Germany could not equalise until Deniz Undav found the back of the net in the 68th minute, and completed the turnaround in the 94th.

Ecuador and Curacao rounded out the afternoon with an attritional 0-0 draw in Kansas City, before Tunisia and Japan faced off in overnight action, whihc kicked off at 5am BST.

And we stand to do it all again this afternoon, with plenty more matchday two action set to take place.

Next on the docket, Belgium face Iran in Los Angeles. Both sides were held to a draw in their opening matches, Belgium by Egypt and Iran by New Zealand, meaning top spot in Group G will on the line here.
