📝 2026 World Cup: overnight round-up | OneFootball

The recap of a night... unlike any other.

The night's must-see

The big story of the night was, of course, the long interruption during the match between France and Iraq in Philadelphia because of thunderstorms.

Coming at half-time, the now-famous lightning protocol lasted more than two hours in total.

Two hours and twelve minutes of stoppage, to be exact. The longest half-time break in World Cup history?

The 3 players who stood out

But the standout performance of the night goes to Erling Haaland, who scored twice in the heavyweight clash against Senegal to send Norway through to the next round of the competition!
