- Portugal thumped Uzbekistan in Houston, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring two first-half goals and providing "plenty of classic moves."
- England were held to a 0-0 draw by Ghana in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
- Panama were eliminated from the tournament after a 1-0 loss to Croatia in Toronto.
- Colombia rounded out the day with a 1-0 win over Congo DR in Guadalajara.
Why it matters: Panama's elimination is the day's only confirmed tournament exit, while England's failure to beat Ghana leaves their final-round position uncertain. With the second round complete, one more round of group matches remains to decide which teams advance to the knockout stage.
