Monday’s action kicks off with a bang as Brazil faces Mexico in Samara. El Tri are looking to forget a 3-0 loss to Sweden in their last matchup as they face a tougher Brazilian side. Brazil defeated Serbia 2-0 in their last match which allowed them to win their group. Playmakers Neymar and Hirving Lozano will headline the wide range of talent in this clash.

The day concludes with Belgium taking on Japan in Rostov. The Red Devils won all three of their group stage matches, with Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku leading the way with four goals.
