The three players who stood out

Turkey needed at least Arda Güler’s talent to salvage some pride at this World Cup. The playmaker, who scored Turkey’s first goal, also produced a dazzling run that led to the winner.

If Japan sealed their ticket to the round of 32, it was no doubt thanks to Zion Suzuki. The Parma goalkeeper once again made four decisive saves to keep his team from conceding the opener.

In the end, it took a moment of brilliance from Anthony Elanga to beat him. A heroic goal from the winger, sending Sweden into the round of 32, where they will probably face... France.
