The FIFA World Cup group stage has entered the final round of matches with teams vying for their berth in the round of 16 stages. A much-changed France was beaten by Tunisia, while Australia beat Denmark 1-0 to clinch the final berth from Group D.
Argentina finished as the table-topper in Group C with a 2-0 win over Poland. Poland, too, progressed to the last 16 despite finishing level on points with Mexico. Mexico’s 2-1 win over Saudi Arabia went in vain.
In Group F, Morocco became the first African nation to top a World Cup group since 1998 (Nigeria) after it beat Canada 2-1 at the Al Thumama Stadium on Thursday, while Belgium was eliminated in the group stage after a goalless draw against Croatia.
