The FIFA World Cup 2022 kicked off with a superb show of individual brilliance from Ecuador’s Enner Valencia. Valencia, the only player on the field who was featuring in a World Cup for the second time, handed Qatar a 2-0 loss – the first for a host on the opening day of the competition.

In the first game on Monday (matchday 2), England battered a clueless Iran 6-2 at the Khalifa International Stadium. Meanwhile, Cody Gakpo scored for the first time in the World Cup and Davy Klaassen fired his 10th international goal to hand Netherlands a 2-0 victory over Senegal in the second fixture. The last match of the day - USA vs Wales - ended in a draw.
