Coming out into the second half Argentina kept up with the pressure and a mistake from Australia goalkeeper Mathew Ryan allowed Julian Alvarez to double the lead.

A lurking Memphis Depay made the most of a cut-back ball within 10 minutes before Daley Blind did the same to make things 2-0 at the break.
Coming out into the second half the U.S.’s pressure increased and shaky defending from the Netherlands saw Haji Wright turn things 2-1.
Yet the late push wasn’t enough when Denzel Dumfries ensured the Oranje move on after a third goal.
Following various transfer rumours, Canadian defender Alistair Johnston has officially signed a five-year deal with Scottish club Celtic.
