📝 2026 World Cup: overnight round-up | OneFootball

Every morning, OneFootball brings you a full recap of the night's action at the World Cup.

The must-see story of the night

Argentina really thought they were going out. Up against a Cape Verde side that was hugely impressive for its physical and mental resources, La Albiceleste were pushed right to their limit (3-2, aet).

Unbeaten in normal time across their first four World Cup matches, the nation of 500,000 people thrilled the football world thanks to its bravery, but also thanks to the football it played.

There is no doubt that Sydny Lopes Cabaral's goal (probably the best of this edition) and celebration will be remembered for a very long time.

The night's results

Argentina 3-2 Cape Verde (aet)

Colombia 1-0 Ghana

The 3 players who shone

With eight more saves, Vozinha delivered another masterclass against Messi and Argentina at the age of 40. Among goalkeepers to have reached that age at the World Cup, only Dino Zoff in 1982 and Peter Shilton in 1990 made more saves.

His teammate Lopes Cabral also made competition history with that absolutely fantastic goal, which is likely to be replayed over and over for many days.

Although Messi could also have been mentioned, after scoring his 20th goal against a 14th different nation at the World Cup, let's also pay tribute to Gustavo Puerta.

The 22-year-old midfielder has established himself in Colombia's XI and become its playmaker. He proved it once again tonight against Ghana.
