World Cup Wrap: Australia's dream ends, Argentina rolls on

2018-06-27T06:41+10:00

Here's a wrap of all the World Cup action overnight:

Group C
Denmark: 0
France: 0

Denmark and France played out the first 0-0 draw of the tournament, which means even if Australia defeat Peru, they still would have finished a point out of the qualification position.

France finishes atop of Group C on seven points, with Denmark second on five points.

Group C
Australia: 0
Peru: 2 (Carrillo 18’, Paolo Guerrero 50’)

Australia’s World Cup dream came to an end with a disappointing 2-0 result against Peru.

It was Peru’s first World Cup win since 1978 as Australia ended the tournament in last position in Group C with just the solitary point.

FULL WRAP OF THE SOCCEROOS' LOSS

It is will most likely be the last time we see Tim Cahill in a Socceroos shirt.

Group D
Iceland: 1 (Gylfi Sigurdsson 76’)
Croatia: 2 (Milan Badelj 53’, Ivan Perisic 90’)

Croatia ended their group stage fixture with a perfect nine points, after Ivan Perisic’s late winner ensured they top Group D.

Both sides were able to create scoring opportunities, but Iceland’s inability to convert proved too much to overcome.

Group D
Nigeria: 1 (Victor Moses 51’)
Argentina: 2 (Lionel Messi 14’, Marcos Rojo 86’)

Despite being one of the World Cup’s most disappointing sides throughout the group stages, Argentina have managed to advance to the knockout stages with a heart-stopping 2-1 victory over Nigeria.

Leo Messi’s 14-minute goal saw his side take an early lead, before a fighting Nigerian squad equalised after 51 minutes. However, Marcus Rojo’s 86th minute bullet ensured the Argentina fans extended their stay in Russia.
