FIFA World Cup 2026 Day 7: Kane's Revenge, Ronaldo's Struggle & a Stoppage-Time Drama

Wednesday, June 17 was one of those FIFA World Cup 2026 days fans will be talking about for weeks. We got controversy, a VAR retake, a legendary striker held off the scoresheet, and a stoppage-time winner that broke a thousand hearts. If you caught it live on Winbox, you already know. If you missed it, here's the full breakdown — and a heads-up that the rest of this FIFA 2026 group stage is shaping up to be just as wild.

Portugal 1-1 DR Congo: The Night Ronaldo Couldn't Find a Way Through

Over in Houston, what should've been a routine night for Cristiano Ronaldo turned into one of the biggest shocks of the tournament so far. João Neves put Portugal ahead with a clean header, and everything looked on track. Then, just before halftime, Yoane Wissa stunned the world with an equalizer that sent the DR Congo bench into pandemonium.

Ronaldo kept pushing in the second half, but Congo's defense swarmed him every time he touched the ball. Shot after shot went wide or got blocked, and the frustration on his face said it all. At 41, people are already asking whether this could be his last World Cup run. Portugal walked away with a 1-1 draw, leaving Group K wide open — and Congo earned the first World Cup point in their history.

England 4-2 Croatia: Three Lions Finally Get Their Revenge in Dallas

This one was electric from the first whistle. England fans have carried the scars of that 2018 semifinal loss to Croatia for years. On Wednesday night in Dallas, the Three Lions didn't just win — they made a statement.

It started with chaos. Noni Madueke won a penalty, Harry Kane stepped up, and Livakovic saved it. But VAR stepped in: the keeper was off his line, so Kane got a retake, and this time he didn't miss. 1-0 England. Then Martin Baturina answered with a thunderbolt from distance to level the score, and Petar Musa snuck one in with the last kick of the first half. Croatia went into the break level, and the momentum swings had everyone on edge.

The second half belonged to England. Jude Bellingham slotted home seconds after the restart, and the energy in the stadium flipped instantly. Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson controlled the midfield. Livakovic kept making saves to keep Croatia in it, but it wasn't enough — Marcus Rashford added a clinical finish in the 85th minute to seal it. Final score: 4-2, with Kane walking away with two goals and an assist. England look like genuine contenders heading into the next round.

Ghana 1-0 Panama: The Stoppage-Time Goal Nobody Expected

Just when the day couldn't get more dramatic, Ghana vs Panama happened. It was tight, physical, and heading toward a 0-0 draw right up until stoppage time, when Caleb Yirenkyi poked in a last-gasp winner to hand Ghana a 1-0 win and send Toronto into delirium. Panama were left shell-shocked. Ghana now sit top of Group L alongside England, and this World Cup keeps getting harder to predict.

Colombia 3-1 Uzbekistan: Luis Díaz Lights Up Estadio Azteca

Colombia closed out the night in style at the iconic Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. Daniel Muñoz opened the scoring with a slick toe poke. Uzbekistan — playing their first-ever World Cup match — levelled things with a historic goal of their own, but Luis Díaz quickly restored Colombia's lead. Leandro Campaz added a dagger in stoppage time to finish off a 3-1 win. With Portugal dropping points earlier in the day, Colombia now sit at the top of Group K. James Rodríguez is running this team beautifully, and with Díaz finding form, they look like one of the most dangerous sides left in the tournament.
