This is everything you need to know about the contest.
Belgium take on Senegal with a place in the last 16 up for grabs.
The Red Devils overcame a slow start to their group after two draws against Egypt and IR Iran to blow New Zealand away with a 5-1 thrashing that assured them of top spot in the group.
Senegal had a difficult group to come through but after narrow defeats to France and Norway in their openers, they too came alive on matchday three in a big way, beating 10-man Iraq 5-0 to advance as one of the best third-place finishers.

Several key Belgian stars broke out against New Zealand in very impressive fashion and Senegal will have their hands full in dealing with them.
Leandro Trossard was scintillating and registered a game high 8.30 Attacking Score in the FIFA Power Ranking - powered by Aramco thanks to his brace.
After losing a goal in his side's opener to an own goal accreditation, Romelu Lukaku is also off the mark now, while Napoli team-mate Kevin De Bruyne was the best in the Creativity Score against New Zealand with 7.60, being directly involved in 14 of his side's attempts on goal.
For the Lions of Teranga, they too racked up five goals in their most recent outing and with an Attacking Score of 8.40, Pape Gueye may have played his way into the starting line-up after scoring twice off the bench.
Given he also registered an assist, he registered 8.10 for his Creativity Score, while a 7.70 Defending Score for namesake Idrissa will make him a key figure in the centre of the park in this one.
Who wouldn't want some of Amadou Onana's positive energy?
