The World Cup round of 32 continues this evening with three matches featuring Iberian sides Spain and Portugal, as well as Switzerland. Yesterday, England secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over the Democratic Republic of Congo in Atlanta, Georgia, thanks to a brace from Harry Kane. That result followed Mexico's early-morning win over Ecuador, setting up a last-16 clash between Thomas Tuchel's England and the co-hosts at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. Later, Belgium edged Senegal 3-2 in extra time, with Youri Tielemans scoring a penalty in the dying moments to send Rudi Garcia's side through against the United States, who comfortably defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina in Santa Clara, California.

Mikel Oyarzabal is expected to feature prominently for Spain.
