The Netherlands had met the United States five times, with the former winning the first four meetings. They most recently met in June 2015, with the United States winning 4–3.[4]

In the 10th minute, the Netherlands went in front when Memphis Depay finished to the left corner of the net after a pass from the right by Denzel Dumfries after a sequence of passes.[5] In added time in the first half, Daley Blind scored to make it 2–0 with another low finish after a pass from the right from Dumfries. In the 76th minute, the United States pulled a goal back when Haji Wright finished with a deflection from Christian Pulisic's looped cross at the far post. Dumfries sealed the win with a third goal for the Netherlands in the 81st minute when he finished with a side-footed volley at the far post from Blind's cross from the left.[6]

Argentina vs Australia

Argentina had met Australia seven times, winning five, drawing one, and losing one. They met in the 1994 FIFA World Cup inter-confederation play-off, which Argentina won 2–1 on aggregate. The teams also met in Argentina's 4–2 win in the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup. They most recently met in September 2007, with Argentina winning 1–0.[8]

On his 1,000th career appearance, Lionel Messi scored his 789th career goal, giving Argentina the lead in the 35th minute with a low left foot finish to the left corner. Julián Álvarez made it 2–0 in the 57th minute when he pounced on an error by Australian goalkeeper Mathew Ryan to finish low to the net past the stranded goalkeeper.[9] Australia pulled a goal back in the 77th minute when Craig Goodwin's strike took a huge deflection off Enzo Fernández before finishing in the right corner of the net.[10] Australia had chances to level the match, first when Aziz Behich dribbled past four players before his shot was blocked by Lisandro Martínez, then in added time when Garang Kuol had a shot saved at close range by Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez.[11]

France vs Poland

Prior to this match, France had met Poland 16 times, winning eight, drawing five, and losing three. The three defeats included the 1982 World Cup third-place play-off which Poland won 3–2. They most recently met in a friendly won by France 1–0 in June 2011.[13]

In the 44th minute, Olivier Giroud received a pass from Kylian Mbappé before firing low to the right corner of the net to put France into the lead and also break the French goal-scoring record with his 52nd goal. Mbappé made it 2–0 in the 74th minute when he received the ball on the left just inside the penalty area before firing powerfully with his right foot to the top left corner of the net. Mbappé got his second of the game in the first minute of the added time with a right foot curling finish to the right corner of the net. In the final minute Robert Lewandowski pulled a goal back to make it 3–1 with a penalty low to the left corner, awarded after a handball by Dayot Upamecano.[14]

England vs Senegal

This was the first ever meeting between the sides.[16] It was also the first time England had faced African opposition in the knockout stage of a World Cup since 1990's quarter-final encounter with Cameroon.[17]

England went front in the 38th minute when Jordan Henderson scored low to the net from 12 yards out after a pass from Jude Bellingham on the left. In the added time in the first half, reigning World Cup Golden Boot winner Harry Kane made it 2–0 with his first goal in the tournament, firing into the net from the right after a pass from Phil Foden. In the 57th minute Foden crossed from the left for Bukayo Saka to make it 3–0 with a clipped left-foot finish over Senegal goalkeeper Édouard Mendy.[18]

Japan vs Croatia

Japan had met Croatia three times, winning one, drawing one, and losing one. From the three, two happened in the World Cup group stages: Croatia won 1–0 in 1998 and drew 0–0 in 2006. The latter was their most recent encounter.[20]

In the 43rd minute Daizen Maeda scored for Japan with a low finish in the penalty area after the ball was knocked back from the left. Ten minutes into the second half Ivan Perišić equalised when he headed powerfully to the right corner of the net after a cross from Dejan Lovren on the right. The match went to extra time with no further goals scored and so went to the penalty shoot-out. Japan missed three of their four penalties – all saved by goalkeeper Dominik Livaković – with Mario Pašalić scored the winning penalty with a low shot to the left as Croatia won 3–1 in the shoot-out.[21] Livaković became the third goalkeeper to make three saves in a World Cup shoot-out, after Ricardo in 2006 and his fellow countryman Danijel Subašić in 2018.[22]

Brazil vs South Korea

Brazil had met South Korea seven times, winning six and losing one. They most recently met in June 2022, which Brazil won 5–1.[24]

Vinícius Júnior opened the scoring for Brazil in the 7th minute when he scored with a side footed shot to the right of the net past three Korean defenders on the line. Brazil were awarded a penalty six minutes later when Richarlison was fouled just inside the penalty area, Neymar scored the penalty with a low shot to the right corner with the goalkeeper not moving. Richarlison made it 3–0 in the 29th minute when he controlled the ball with his head before receiving the ball back from Thiago Silva and passing into the left corner of the net. Lucas Paquetá got a fourth goal in the 36th minute when he volleyed low into the left corner of the net with his right foot after a cross from Vinícius Júnior on the left. South Korea pulled a goal back in the second half when Paik Seung-ho finished to the right of the net from 30 yards out. With ten minutes left and leading by three goals, goalkeeper Alisson was substituted for third-choice Weverton, making Brazil the first team to ever use 26 different players in one World Cup.[25][26]

Morocco vs Spain

Morocco had met Spain in three full international matches, drawing one and losing two. Spain won both the 1962 World Cup inter-continental play-off legs, while the most recent meeting ended in a 2–2 draw in the 2018 World Cup group stage.[28]

After a goalless 120 minutes, the match went into penalty shoot-out, which Morocco won to reach the quarter-finals for the first time ever. Achraf Hakimi scored the winning penalty with a Panenka kick down the middle of the goals.[29] They became the first Arab country to have reached this phase, and just the fourth African country – after Cameroon in 1990, Senegal in 2002, and Ghana in 2010 – to have qualified to the last eight.[30] Their manager Walid Regragui became the first African and first Arab to reach thus far.[31][32]

Portugal vs Switzerland

Portugal had met Switzerland 25 times, winning 9, drawing 5, and losing 11. They met in several World Cup qualifications, in 1938, 1970, 1990, 1994, and 2018. Both teams most recently met in June 2022, with Switzerland winning 1–0 in the 2022–23 UEFA Nations League A.[34]

Cristiano Ronaldo was left out of the starting line-up for Portugal – a first in major tournaments since the UEFA Euro 2008 group stage defeat against Switzerland – with Gonçalo Ramos named instead to make his first start.[35] This time, the Portuguese got their revenge as Ramos became the first hat-trick scorer of this World Cup, the first player to score hat-trick in his first World Cup start since Miroslav Klose in 2002, and the youngest World Cup hat-trick scorer since Flórián Albert in 1962 on course of beating the Swiss 6–1 to reach the quarter-finals, a first since 2006. In addition, he also assisted for Portugal's fourth goal scored by Raphaël Guerreiro. By scoring the second goal, Pepe became the oldest player to have scored at a World Cup knockout stage[36] and the second-oldest to have scored at a World Cup, putting him only behind Roger Milla, who scored the consolation goal in Cameroon's thumping by the opposite scoreline in the 1994 group stage by Russia. Manuel Akanji scored the consolation goal before Portuguese substitute Rafael Leão replied.[37]

Netherlands vs Argentina

The Netherlands had met Argentina nine times, winning four, losing one, and drawing four. Five of those happened in the World Cup: a 4–0 win for the Dutch at the second group stage in 1974 was replied with a 3–1 win for the Argentines in the 1978 final. The Dutch won 2–1 in the 1998 quarter-finals prior to two goalless draws in the 2006 group stage and in their most recent encounter in the 2014 semi-finals, only for the Argentines to win on penalties this time.[41]

Nahuel Molina scored for Argentina after 35 minutes, with Lionel Messi doubled the lead via a penalty in the 73rd minute. Substitute Wout Weghorst then scored two goals before the end of the second half, forcing the match to enter extra time, and ultimately penalty shoot-out.[42]

The match had a total of 18 yellow cards, breaking the record of 16 that was set in another Dutch knockout defeat in the 2006 round of 16 against Portugal.[43] The decisions by the referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz received criticism, as fans and media considered a yellow card to be too lenient for some incidents, while a potential handball by Messi was overlooked.[44] The amount of yellow cards issued by Mateu Lahoz was also criticised.[45]

The match was also marred by the death of sportswriter Grant Wahl under suspicious and unclear circumstances[46] after he collapsed near the end of the match while watching in the press box.[47]
