Uruguay equalise in controversial circumstances after Cabo Verde opens its World Cup account with a long-range stunner.
Lamine Yamal finds the net on his World Cup starting debut, as Spain makes light work of Saudi Arabia to bounce back from its shock draw with Cabo Verde.
Belgium dominated against Iran in Inglewood but couldn’t find the back of the net as Alireza Beiranvand had a blinder in the Iranian goal.
Their 0-0 draw opens up the chances for New Zealand to take a step closer to the knockout stages if they get a positive result against Egypt in Vancouver.

61′ Goal!!! Cabo Verde are level
Can. You. Believe. It
A calamity from Uruguay.
A terrible back pass falls short.
Keeper Fernando Muslera comes out but can’t get to the ball and sub Helio Varela shoots into an empty net.
The sub has only been on the pitch a couple of minutes.

44′ Goal!!!! Uruguay are level
Cruel on Cabo Verde.
A header hits the post and Maxi Araujo puts in the rebound with a diving header.
Cabo Verde had a man down injured during that passage of play.
The Uruguay player was helping a Cabo Verde player with his cramp but then left him on the ground to join in with the attack.
Cabo Verde unlucky but it’s 1-1.
