England 2

Tunisia 1

VOLGOGRAD, Russia - Twice wrestled to the ground during the match, England captain Harry Kane finally evaded the Tunisian defense just as time was running out.

Kane found an open area of space at the far post and used his head to meet Harry Maguire's flick-on, scoring the winning goal Monday in a 2-1 victory at the World Cup.

Belgium 3

Panama 0

SOCHI, Russia - Unlike the other World Cup favorites that struggled through their opening matches, Belgium looked every part the title contender.

Having Dries Mertens and Romelu Lukaku capable of scoring the way they did against Panama helps.

Lukaku scored twice in a 6-minute span in the second half after Mertens' perfectly struck volley gave Belgium the lead, and the Red Devils beat overmatched Panama 3-0 Monday.

Sweden 1

South Korea 0

NIZHNY NOVGOROD, Russia - Sweden got the break it needed from the video review system, and team captain Andreas Granqvist didn't waste the chance.

Granqvist slid his penalty kick into the bottom right corner of the net in the 65th minute to give Sweden a 1-0 victory over South Korea on Monday at the World Cup.
