Join us tomorrow as we continue the final round of group stage matches!


Groups A, B and C have officially come to an end with just 13 nations having advanced to the Round of 32.

Who will join them?


Today's results also confirm that Canada will face South Africa in the first Round of 32 match on June 3.

It will be the first knockout match for either nation at a men's World Cup.


So here is the final Group A table, with Mexico becoming the first team to secure all nine points from their World Cup group.


Your final results:

FULL-TIME: MEXICO 3-0 CZECHIA

Mexico make it three wins from three as they cruise into the Round of 32.

FULL-TIME: SOUTH AFRICA 1-0 KOREA REPUBLIC

Meanwhile, South Africa stun Korea Republic, sending Bafana Bafana through to the World Cup knockouts for the first time in their history.


GOAL FOR MEXICO

Álvaro Fidalgo adds a third goal in stoppage-time to cap off what will be a celebratory night across Mexico.


Crucial save from South Africa's Ronwen Williams to keep out Korea Republic in stoppage-time.


History might be on the South Africans' side, but can they hold on to secure a big upset against Korea Republic?


A standing ovation for Mexican goalkeeping legend Guillermo Ochoa as he comes on for the final ten minutes against Czechia.

What a moment!


Both matches have just returned from their second-half hydration breaks.


GOAL FOR SOUTH AFRICA

After numerous shots, Thapelo Maseko finally takes his opportunity as South Africa take a shock lead over Korea Republic.

A win would take the South Africans above Korea Republic, and into second place in Group A...


GOAL FOR MEXICO

Calamitous defending from Czechia allows Julián Quiñones to double the Mexicans lead.

Surely, that's game over in Mexico City.


GOAL FOR MEXICO

Coming up from left-back, Mateo Chávez scores his first international goal to give Mexico the lead against Czechia.


Another big chance for South Africa, and another crucial block from Korea Republic.

They've now taken 13 shots... If they want to get out of the group, the South Africans need to start taking their chances.


Remarkably, Mexico has not conceded in the first-half of its last 14 men's World Cup matches, a streak that began in 2014.


Meanwhile, Korea Republic might look to bring on Son Heung-min, after the superstar started on the bench.

Son had started 12 consecutive World Cup matches prior to tonight.


HALF-TIME

It's half-time and scoreless in both matches.

With South Africa and Czechia needing to win their respective matches, you have to wonder if they will come out swinging in the second 45.


Ambitious overhead-kick attempt from Mexico's Israel Reyes, but it's well-wide.


Big double save from Korea Republic's Kim Seung-gyu, although the second shot likely wouldn't have counted due to an offside.


South Africa have been pressing with wild intensity thus far – something Korea Republic could look to exploit in transition.


We've reached the first hydration break in both matches, with Group A still in the balance.


Important block for Korea Republic as Lee Gi-hyuk steps in to deny Thapelo Maseko's huge counter-attacking opportunity.


It's been a very open start to both matches, but no goals in either, after ten minutes played.


Big chances for Czechia and Korea Republic in their respective matches, but both efforts are fired wide.


A good start for South Africa as they try to ask some early questions of the Koreans.


KICK-OFF

Mexico are underway against Czechia, and Korea Republic have kicked off against South Africa.


The national anthems are underway with kick-off soon to follow...

GOAL! MOROCCO 4-2 HAITI

The floodgates have opened late on in Atlanta, with Morocco finding a fourth goal just before the end of normal time through Gessime Yassine.

Despite a VAR check, the goal stands, with the 20-year-old Strasbourg-based winger collecting his first-ever goal for the Atlas Lions.


NEYMAR HAS ARRIVED

The iconic Brazilian forward makes his first appearance at the 2026 World Cup, coming on to replace Cunha for the final 15 minutes.


GOAL!! MOROCCO 3-2 HAITI

Morocco have their first lead of the night, and it comes by way of a well-struck effort inside 12 yards by Soufiane Rahimi!

He's done incredibly well to control in the box after the outswinging corner deflected toward the penalty spot, before dispatching a lovely half-volley to finish it off.


It's not looking good for Scotland...


GOAL!! SCOTLAND 0-3 BRAZIL

Brazil bag their third on the night!

Matheus Cunha slots home comfortably after receiving from Bruno Guimarães, putting the result beyond doubt as Scotland continue to sink without a trace.

That's three in three for the Man United man, who's having himself quite a break from Premier League action.


VINI COMES CLOSE!

A third on the night for the Brazilian star doesn't come off (for now) after he wins his foot race into the box, but the Real Madrid man cannot get enough on his close-range attempt to slot past Angus Gunn!


A reminder that Vini Jr has quietly placed himself right in the midst of the race for the Golden Boot, with a chance to pull level with Lionel Messi at the top of the pile before full-time this evening.


We're back in action in Miami and Atlanta!

What's to follow after some of the scenes across the opening 45 minutes?!


Scotland's chances of reaching the Round of 32 are increasingly under threat.

They'll need to shut the floodgates and fast.


HALF-TIME: SCOTLAND 0-2 BRAZIL | MOROCCO 2-2 HAITI

What a half of football we've been treated to!

Brazil looks good value to end the night on seven points thanks to Vini Jr's brace, while it's been an utter goal fest between Morocco and Haiti, featuring a goal of the tournament entry from Wilson Isidor.


GOAL!!!! SCOTLAND 0-2 BRAZIL

This time, he won't be denied!

Vini Jr. makes it 2-0 as we edge toward the halftime interval in Miami, completing his brace, bagging his fourth of the tournament, and putting Brazil in full control with a header at the back post.


GOAL!!!!!!! MOROCCO 2-2 HAITI

What a first half of football in Atlanta!

Morocco fight back to level the score at two-all as we enter first half stoppage!

A lovely, cushioned finish from Bayern-bound Ismael Saibari!


GOAL!!!!!!! MOROCCO 1-2 HAITI

My word! That's one of the best goals you'll see this summer!

Haiti are back in the lead through a long-range thunderbolt from Sunderland's Wilson Isidor!


GOAL!! MOROCCO 1-1 HAITI

The Atlas Lions have pulled level with Haiti through Achraf Hakimi, who bags his first-ever World Cup goal in the process.


As things stand, Brazil will top Group C, with Morocco finishing second.

Scotland would also qualify as the fourth-best team to finish third.

VAR RULES NO GOAL!

Scotland are spared early blushes as Vini's goal is chalked off for a foul in the build-up.


VAR CHECK!

This might be pulled back here...


GOOOOOAL! SCOTLAND 0-2 BRAZIL

That's a brace on the night for Vini Jr, who is gunning to climb up the ladder in the Golden Boot race as Scotland are in danger of falling apart in Miami.


More on Vini Jr.

He's enjoyed himself this summer thus far, and looks plenty motivated to help Brazil net their sixth World Cup triumph and first since 2002.


GOAL!!!!!!! MOROCCO 0-1 HAITI

It's a shock early lead for Haiti, who have already been eliminated, but can still have a massive say on proceedings in the group.


GOAL!!!! SCOTLAND 0-1 BRAZIL

It's the first goal of the evening across the final Group C clashes, and it's Vini Jr. who pounces at the back to slot home from inside the box after a horrendous error by Scotland.

That's goals in all three of Brazil's fixtures, and a first-ever World Cup assist for Rayan on his first-ever World Cup start!


And we're underway across the deciding Group C fixtures!


It's another brilliant showing from supporters as they bellow out Flower of Scotland. One of the highlights of this summer every time they feature.


Scotland need a win to reach the Round of 32, while Brazil will progress with just a draw.

A draw is more than enough for Morocco to reach the next round, while Haiti are officially eliminated from the tournament.


We'll have walkouts and national anthems in Miami and Atlanta, and then we're underway for Brazil-Scotland and Morocco-Haiti.


With the possibility of poor weather in Miami during Brazil-Scotland, fans are still enjoying their day out in the South of Florida.


Your regular dose of Opta content in the run-up to the next round of matches.

Here's how they break down Morocco's chances of topping Group C ahead of Brazil.


A reminder of how the confirmed Round of 32 field looks after the first set of fixtures today...


It's been a nervy tournament for Canada, but they'll not be complaining about achieving a first-ever progression into the knockout stages.

40 seconds into the second half and Switzerland have woken up.

Cyle Larin has a glorious opportunity for Canada but can't beat the goalkeeper. The flag is then belatedly raised for offside.

Later this evening, Scotland will take on Brazil. It's fair to say the Tartan Army have taken over Miami!!


If you want a more detailed preview of tonight's game between Canada and Switzerland, you can read that here.


Here's that Swiss XI ...


One note on that Canada XI - Alphonso Davies is still not fit enough to start and is on the bench. Such a shame for the Bayern defender.


Bosnia and Qatar have named their XIs for the game ...


Canada fans look well up for this ...


And here's that Canada XI ...


Whilst we wait for the team news from these first few games, why not read this piece from our friends at the Independent. They've ranked every nation after two games.


Some incredible scenes from Seattle ...


The later on we have the big one from Miami as Scotland aim to get to the World Cup knockout rounds for the first time ever. They have the task of getting a result against Brazil (or potentially not depending on the third-placed rankings). You're going to want to stay up for that!


The first two matches come from Group B where Canada take on Switzerland and Bosnia face Qatar. Can Canada keep their home advantage going? If they finish top of the group their next match will be in Vancouver.


Good evening everyone and welcome to Day 14 of the World Cup where we'll see the conclusion of three groups all in the space of 10 hours or so.
