Germany gave itself hope of avoiding another embarrassing early World Cup exit when they snatched a 1-1 draw with Spain on Sunday with Niclas Fuellkrug firing home an 83rd-minute equalizer on only his third appearance for his country.

Abdelhamid Sabiri scored from an audaciously tight angle and fellow substitute Zakaria Aboukhlal added a second in stoppage time as Morocco pulled off a shock 2-0 win over Belgium in World Cup Group F on Sunday in Doha.

Japan squandered an opportunity to advance early to the World Cup last 16 after Keysher Fuller's goal 10 minutes from time gave Costa Rica a surprise 1-0 win in a match in which they had barely any chances, in Al Rayyan, Qatar.

Alphonso Davies netted Canada's first goal at a men's World Cup, but it was Croatia, spearheaded by a brace from Andrej Kramaric, that came away with an impressive 4-1 Group F win on Sunday in Al Rayyan, Qatar, that ended any hope of the North Americans advancing while keeping their own alive.
