FIFA World Cup 2026: Top scorers, most assists & clean sheets after Uzbekistan vs Colombia
All 48 nations have now played their first World Cup 2026 game.
Here, we summarise the events of all FIFA World Cup 2026 Group K & L games.
England’s 2026 World Cup campaign got off to an incredible start. They defeated Croatia 4-2 thanks to a brace from Harry Kane.
Cristiano Ronaldo was disappointed when the Democratic Republic of the Congo held Portugal to a 1-1 draw in their Group K first match. This comes only one day after his fierce rival Lionel Messi orchestrated Argentina’s flawless start to the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a hat-trick.
With a (by the end) tense 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan, Colombia emerged victorious in Group K. Ghana defeated a determined Panama in their World Cup first match thanks to a late, late goal from Caleb Yirenkyi.
