Spain 1-0 Portugal

Spain's crusade to add the World Cup trophy to their Euro 2008 title continued tonight with a closely-fought last-16 win over Iberian neighbours Portugal.

Vicente Del Bosque's side dominated on the ball as usual but were frustrated for long periods by Portugal, who had decent chances of their own at Cape Town's Green Point Stadium.

Ultimately Spain's patience paid off, however, as David Villa's 63rd-minute goal secured victory exactly two years to the day since their European triumph in Austria.

They will now fancy themselves in a quarter-final clash with modest South Americans Paraguay while Portugal - who had Ricardo Costa dismissed in the final minute - face a disappointing trip home

Paraguay hold nerve in shoot-out

Paraguay beat Japan 5-3 on penalties to advance to the quarter-finals of the World Cup after their second round tie ended in a goalless extra-time stalemate in Pretoria.

Japan's Yuichi Komano hit the crossbar with his team's third spot kick, the only one missed in the first shootout of the finals.

Paraguay have become the fourth South American team after Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, in the last eight - a height hey have never scaled before in their participation at the World Cup.

The South Americans had enjoyed more possession during the scoreless encounter which had relatively few clear goal chances at either end.

Brazil - Chile 3-0

Emmmm what was that about defensive football? That was a vintage Brazilian goal. Ramires bursts from the midfield, taking three Chilean defenders with him, powers past the challenges before neatly cutting the ball back for Robinho who strokes the ball past Cesar as into the bottom right corner of the net. Cracking goal!

Brazil - Chile 2-0

Fabiano finishes off a great Brazilian move to double his side's lead. Robinho cuts in from the left wing before pulling the ball back to Kaka and he picks out a perfect through ball to Fabiano who rounds goalkeeper Bravo before slotting home. There's a suggestion that Fabiano may have been offside but replays show he timed his run well.

Brazil - Chile 1-0

Juan heads home a text-book finish from Maicon's teasing corner kick. There's a hint of some pushing and shoving as the ball comes over, but nothing to trouble the referee. Great header from Juan, who produced a Tim Cahill-esque leap before placing it perfectly.

Netherlands 2-1 Slovakia

Afellay is on for goalscorer Sneijder and comes close to making immediate impact, but his shot from 20 yards lacks the power or the accuracy to trouble Mucha.

Netherlands 2-0 Slovakia

Slovakia lose concentration as Kuyt is clear on goal and nods the ball past Mucha. He unselfishly squares the ball to Sneijder and the Inter man makes no mistake.

Netherlands 1-0 Slovakia

Robben returns with a vengeance to give the Dutch the lead. The marauding midfielder cuts in from the right wing and his left-footed shot from just outside the area beats Mucha and nestles in the bottom right-hand corner of the onion bag.

Full-time: Argentina 3-1 Mexico

71 min Goal for Mexico and it is Manchester United bound striker Hernadez who has got it. Brilliant turn for the striker and facing the goalkeeper he slams the ball into the top corner.

Argentina 3-0 Mexico

Wow. Sensational strike from Carlos Tevez. He has the ball 25 yards from goal and tries to play through Higuain. The Mexico defender blocks the ball and it sits up nicely for Tevez to unleash an unstoppable shot into the top corner. Fantastic goal, game over.

Absolutely robbed

Eamon Dunphy's take on the first goal. The two squads were involved in a scuffle at they left there pitch at half-time, Maradona was peacemaker and it eventually calmed down.

Argentina 2-0 Mexico

Higuain benefits from Osorio's blunder to give Argentina an early 2-0 lead. The sleepy Mexican inexplicably passes a hospital ball across defences which the Argentinian easily intercepts. Higuain makes no mistake and rounds the keeper to give Argentina a comfortable buffer in Johannesburg.

Argentina 1-0 Mexico

Tevez gives Argentina a controversial lead. Messi finds the Man City star in a blatantly offside offside position and Tevez and the other players on the field can scarcely believe it when the goal is allowed to stand. The Mexico side run to the linesman en masse, but to no avail.

Germany's victory

Germany's latest World Cup victory over England will be remembered not for any of the brilliant goals, but for the one that didn't count.

Ask anyone — players, coaches, thousands of fans in the stadium and millions more watching on television — and there's little question that Frank Lampard put a shot in the net late in the first half that would have tied the score.

But referee Jorge Larrionda waved play on, and Germany used two second-half goals by Thomas Mueller for a 4-1 victory Sunday. The Germans are headed to the quarterfinals. The English are shaking their heads in disbelief.
