France 1 – 0 Peru



France's win gives them six points and sole possession of first place in Group C. But don't count them champions of the group just yet; they play Denmark next week on Matchday 3.

Mbappe got the lone French goal in the 34th minute. It was an easy tap-in from a Paul Pogba shot that was deflected by Peru's keeper.

Peru had a few chances, including a shot from Aquino that rattled off the woodwork. But nothing went in for them. With their second loss, Peru is now mathematically out of the running.

France is by no means the clear group winner yet either. If Denmark wins the head-to-head match next week, they can still win the group.

Goals

34' - Kylian Mbappe



Cards

16' - Blaise Matuidi (FRA)

Argentina vs. Croatia



Croatia was on fire today taking the win from Argentina earning a second win. They now have six points and sit head and shoulders above the rest in Group D. In fact, after today, they are mathematically secure to advance to the group stage.

A mistake in the back by Caballero in the 53rd minute got the ball rolling. Rebic, with great form, shot an errant pass from the Argentine keepr and lobbed it into the back of the net. It was a horrible mistake by the keeper that Croatia converted well.

Luka Modric tallied Croatia's second from distance, surprising Argentina yet again. Two goals down, the game started to get chippy with two Argentine players receiving cards over the next seven minutes.

Rakatic sealed the game in stoppage time. Outclassing Caballero again, three Croatian players overpowered the Argentine keeper and a lone defender. The play needed a the video referee assistant to veryify it was not an offside play. In the end, the goal stood.

Croatia wins and is mathematically guaranteed to move on past the group stage. If Argentina were to win their next match, they would only have four points and their current -3 goal differential could make a big difference.
