The first match was between the teams of Switzerland and Cameroon. The match ended with a score of 1:0 in favor of Switzerland. The only goal was scored in the second half in the 48th minute by forward Breel Embolo.

25-year-old Embolo did not celebrate his goal against Cameroon. The reason is that Embolo is of Cameroonian descent, originally from Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon. In his childhood, his family emigrated first to France and then to Switzerland. Later, he obtained Swiss citizenship.

The second match took place between the national teams of Uruguay and South Korea. The teams were unable to score, and the match ended in a 0:0 draw. The Uruguayan team featured renowned veterans such as Diego Godín and Luis Suárez, as well as young stars — Federico Valverde and Darwin Núñez. However, the two-time world champions could not defeat the South Korean team.

The third match between the national teams of Portugal and Ghana ended with a score of 3:2 in favor of Portugal.

In the 65th minute, the captain of the Portuguese team, Cristiano Ronaldo, scored from a penalty to open the scoring. In the 73rd minute, Ghanaian forward André Ayew equalized the score. Portuguese players João Félix and Rafael Leão scored two more goals in the 78th and 80th minutes, while in the 89th minute, Ghanaian player Osman Bukari scored a goal.

The fourth match was held between the national teams of Brazil and Serbia. The Brazilian team took more than an hour to open the scoring against Serbia. In the 62nd minute, Brazilian forward Richarlison scored the first goal. A few minutes later, he scored a second goal against Serbia.

Richarlison’s second goal was very spectacular – he struck the ball in mid-air with a scissor kick. It was immediately dubbed a “super goal.”
