FIFA World Cup 2022

Maradona died on November 25, 2020 of a heart attack at home at the age of 60, after brain surgery for a subdural hematoma. Lionel Messi uploaded a story to Instagram with a photo of the legendary football star wearing his number 10 blue and white jersey. Manager Lionel Scaloni noted, "it is a very sad day," referring to Maradona's anniversary, during a press conference ahead of Saturday's match against Mexico in Qatar.

England had a greater share of possession but managed just three shots on target while the United States had one as both sides lacked a cutting edge in attack. "I thought it was a very solid performance from the team, obviously against a good opponent," Pulisic said. "There were times when we dominated and created chances and could have won the game. We managed the game well and to come out with a draw is a decent result."

On Friday evening at the Ali Bin Ali Stadium in Qatar, the 90-minute dual ended without a goal being scored. A win for England would have meant qualification to the knockout stage and the first team to seal the last 16 spot. A lot was expected from England, especially after their 6-2 drubbing of Iran, in their first Group A match.

The draw meant that Qatar, who had earlier in the day lost to Senegal, crashed out in the first round, becoming the first host country failing to advance to the knockout rounds of the World Cup in recent times. The Netherlands made a blazing start in Doha when Cody Gakpo fizzed an unstoppable sixth-minute 18-yard shot beyond Hernan Galindez in Ecuador's goal to give the Oranje a 1-0 lead. This is the fastest goal of this championship.

Qatar pulled one back through substitute Mohammed Muntari in the 77th minute. Senegal struck their third goal through substitute Cheikh Dieng with seven minutes to go for the final whistle to put the issue beyond doubt for the African champions. Senegal started well having the chunk of possession and playing long balls into the Qatar box.

"The players Neymar and Danilo started the treatment yesterday (Thursday) immediately after our game. Today (Friday) in the morning. They were reassessed and as we had already advanced in yesterday's interview, through today's physical assessment we thought it was important to do an image exam, an MRI so that we had more data on the evolution of the two players," said Lasmar in a CBF statement.

Iran scored twice deep into stoppage time to stay in the World Cup and spoil Gareth Bale's record 110th cap for his country. A long-range effort by Cheshmi in the eight minutes into added time gave Iran the lead while Rezaeian coolly made it 2-0, three minutes from the second goal.

Neymar suffered the injury in the second-half of Brazil's 2-0 victory over Serbia in Group G on Friday and played on for several minutes before being substituted by Manchester United forward Antony. He was later seen in tears while sitting on the bench with noticeable swelling in his right ankle.

Ronaldo scored from the spot 20 minutes into the second half thus becoming the first man to score in five World Cups. The Ghanians refused to throw in the towel and bounced back with a goal from A. Ayew in the 73rd minute. The joy was short lived as Felix got his name on the scorers' list five minutes later giving Portugal the lead, making it 2-1.

Watched by a vibrant crowd at the Education City Stadium both teams had plenty of attacking quality on show but nothing could separate the two at the end of the 90-minute and had to settle for a point each in the group which consists of Ghana and Portugal.
