Four FIFA World Cup 2026 matches took place on June 24, with Portugal producing the day’s most convincing performance in a 5-0 win over Uzbekistan. England were held to a goalless draw by Ghana, while Croatia and Colombia both secured narrow 1-0 victories over Panama and DR Congo, respectively. Portugal 5-0 Uzbekistan Portugal delivered a dominant display in Group K, easing to a 5-0 victory over Uzbekistan. Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring in the sixth minute, becoming the first player to score at six World Cups. Portugal doubled their advantage through Nuno Mendes, whose direct free-kick gave Uzbekistan goalkeeper Abduvohid Nematov little chance. Ronaldo added his second before half-time after being set up by Bruno Fernandes, putting Portugal firmly in control. An own goal from Nematov made it 4-0 after the break, before Rafael Leao completed the scoring late on. The result strengthens Portugal’s position in the group and underlines their attacking depth heading into the next stage of the tournament. England 0-0 Ghana England were made to work hard by a disciplined Ghana side in a 0-0 draw. Thomas Tuchel’s team controlled spells of possession but struggled to break down Ghana’s compact defensive structure. England created chances, including a late opportunity for substitute Nico O’Reilly, whose header struck the woodwork. The result means England must wait until their final group match against Panama to confirm qualification for the last 32. Ghana, meanwhile, earned a valuable point through organisation, resilience, and defensive focus. Croatia 1-0 Panama Croatia kept their campaign on track with a 1-0 win over Panama in Group L. Substitute Ante Budimir scored the decisive goal early in the second half, giving Croatia the breakthrough after a tight opening period. Panama pushed for a response but were unable to find an equaliser. Croatia can secure a top-two finish in the group if they beat Ghana on Saturday. Panama’s second defeat of the tournament confirms their elimination from the World Cup. Colombia 1-0 DR Congo Colombia edged past DR Congo 1-0 to move top of Group K and secure progress to the last 32. Daniel Munoz scored the winner in the 76th minute with a deflected effort, finally giving Colombia the advantage after several earlier chances. Munoz had a goal ruled out in the sixth minute and also missed a major opportunity early on. Luis Diaz also saw a powerful second-half strike disallowed for offside. Despite those setbacks, Colombia maintained pressure and eventually found the breakthrough. DR Congo remain third in the group and will need a strong result in their final match to keep their qualification hopes alive.
