The diminutive superstar gave Argentina the springboard they needed to defeat Australia, opening the scoring after 35 minites when it seemed the Socceroos' game plan was working to perfection.

Louis van Gaal's Netherlands team has become the first to qualify for the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals after defeating the USA. Memphis Depay, Daley Blind and Denzel Dumfries were all on the scoresheet for the Dutch as they proved the more clinical team to put the USA to the sword. Netherlands had less possession and shots compared to their opponents, but as we've seen throughout this FIFA World Cup, control of the game isn't always reflected in those statistics.

First it was France earlier in the week and now Brazil have been shocked at the FIFA World Cup having qualified already, but losing their winning record on Matchday 3. Like the French, Brazil fielded a much-changed side for this clash, but that shouldn't take away from a passionate and determined performance from Cameroon. They matched Brazil and in stoppage time at the end of the game, got their reward thanks to Vincent Aboubakar. Unfortunately for Cameroon, results elsewhere mean they don't progress, but leave Qatar with a historic win. Breaking this one down are Mark Roberts, Harry Lowe and Chris Loxston from FIFA.

Uruguay knew they needed to score one more than Korea Republic if the day ended with them winning their matches. Leading 2-0 with just minutes remaining, Uruguay were advancing into the knockout stages of the FIFA World Cup as Korea Republic were locked in a 1-1 draw with Portugal. But when Korea struck late on to claim a 2-1 victory, it was for Uruguay to get another goal, but it eluded them and they crashed out. This was a game with plenty of spice after Uruguay had knocked Ghana out on penalties in 2010. And just as penalties proved a talking point then, so they did here as Andre Ayew missed a spot kick with the scores level at 0-0. Uruguay took control from that point, but their victory still wasn't enough to advance from Group H.
