Netherlands cruising past Tunisia while Ecuador clinches knockout spot at 2026 World Cup

The Netherlands enter their Group F clash with Tunisia as overwhelming favorites, with odds of 1/8 to win. Having already secured progression, Tunisia are expected to field a less‑motivated side, while the Dutch, buoyed by recent high‑scoring performances, aim to maintain momentum ahead of a potential Round of 32 meeting with Morocco.

In the knockout race, Ecuador achieved a dramatic 2‑1 comeback victory over Germany. Nilson Angulo equalised early, and a late cross from Kevin Rodríguez was turned home by Plata, sending Ecuador into the last‑16 for the first time since 2006. The result also marked Germany’s ninth consecutive World Cup game without a clean sheet.
