Haaland has scored five times in three matches, including the late winner against Ivory Coast in the Round of 32. He will be tested by Brazil and Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhães, who has a history against the Manchester City striker in the Premier League.

The winner will move on to face Mexico or England in Miami on Saturday in the quarterfinals.

Sunday, July 5 | 8 p.m. ET | Mexico City | TV: Fox

It’s been 40 years since Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God,” and now England is back at Estadio Azteca in a knockout stage match. Mexico remains the only team in the tournament to not have conceded a goal, winning all four matches with clean sheets. Thomas Tuchel’s side was saved by Harry Kane‘s late heroics during a come-from-behind 2-1 win over DR Congo in the Round of 32.

England have been tested on its road to the Round of 16. How will the Three Lions handle playing at altitude in Mexico City? Mexico has won 70 times in 89 games at Estadio Azteca, including 10 World Cup games played there.
