Japan draw 1-1 with Sweden, through as runners-up; Brazil next in the last 32

While you slept

In the other Group F game, the Netherlands beat Tunisia 3-1 to lock up top spot, Jan Paul van Hecke heading in among the goals while Tunisia managed only a Hazem Mastouri reply. Group E produced the night's shock: Ecuador beat Germany 2-1. Leroy Sane struck after two minutes, but Angulo levelled almost at once and Plata turned it around on 77 minutes. Germany still went through as group winners on six points; Ecuador, on four, took one of the best third-placed spots and reached the knockouts for the first time in 20 years. Ivory Coast saw off Curacao 2-0, Nicolas Pepe scoring twice, to advance for the first time.

In the Round of 32 Japan face Brazil, winners of Group C, on 29 June in Houston — kickoff falls in the early hours of 30 June Japan time.
