Morocco 3-0 Canada
Morocco beat co-host Canada 3-0 and continued its strong knockout run after eliminating the Netherlands on penalties. Morocco was sharper in transition and more clinical in the penalty area.
Canada's home run ends in the Round of 16, but its first knockout win earlier in the tournament remains a historic achievement.
France 1-0 Paraguay
France defeated Paraguay 1-0, with Kylian Mbappe's penalty deciding a physical and compact match. Paraguay again showed the defensive resilience that helped it eliminate Germany, but France had more control in the decisive phases.
France will now face Morocco in the quarterfinals.
Norway 2-1 Brazil
Norway beat Brazil 2-1 on July 5. Haaland scored twice late to send Norway into its first World Cup quarterfinal, while Neymar's stoppage-time penalty was only a consolation for Brazil.
Norway now waits for the winner of Mexico vs England.
Mexico vs England: Weather Delay
Mexico vs England was delayed by thunderstorms and heavy rain in Mexico City. The winner will face Norway for a semifinal place.
