HiveBuzz World Cup Contest - Round of 16 - Recap of Day 4

Here are the results of the last day of the knockout phase

Today we were treated to a mix of surprise and non-surprise, but in any case it was two extraordinary matches.

First of all the incredible and totally unexpected victory of Morocco against Spain. Much to the chagrin of the majority of punters who thought that Spain was going to make short work of this team.

Then, the brilliant victory of Portugal with 6 beautiful goals against Switzerland. A wonderful game.

It is therefore Marocco and Portugal who are qualified for the quarter-finals.

Not many changes in the top 3. It's always the same ones who dominate the race. On the other hand, they are only 5 left with a one-badge gap. There seems to have been some skimming on that day.

We are now going to take a short (well-deserved) break until the quarter-finals. See you soon.
