Brazil defeats Japan as Germany, Netherlands and Morocco play to stay at the World Cup, in photos

Posted

Day 19 of the World Cup marks the second day of the round of 32, with five-time champion Brazil defeating Japan, four-time winner Germany taking on Paraguay and the Netherlands meeting 2022 semifinalist Morocco on Monday.

The winners advance to the round of 16 while the losers are eliminated.

Substitute Gabriel Martinelli scored late in injury time to help the Brazilians beat Japan 2-1. Germany leans on Deniz Undav and Jamal Musiala for its attacking power, while Morocco will have captain Achraf Hakimi leading the defense against a Dutch team looking to win the World Cup for the first time after three losses in previous finals.
