Most cards in any match at World Cuppublished at 09:00 BST
Morocco 3-0 Canada
With the United States celebrating Independence Day, fireworks were expected from these two teams after their thrilling round-of-32 clashes, but attacking excitement was sorely missing in the opening 45 minutes.
There was still some spark, albeit for the wrong reasons, with this the first World Cup match on record (since 1966) to see more yellow cards (6) than shots (5) at half-time.
This clash was also only the second knockout match at the finals to see six first-half yellow cards, with Brazil’s 3-0 win over Ghana in 2006 the other instance (also six).
The eight cautions by full-time was the most in any match at this year’s tournament.

Former Morocco international speaking to BBC Radio 5 LiveThe first half was very disappointing, they looked tired from the the 120 minutes they had to play previously against the Netherlands.
The speech from the manager at half-time must have turned things around.
We scored goals when we needed to so that's what is positive now.

Emma Smith
BBC SportCanada became the first co-host to exit the 2026 World Cup as they were well beaten by Morocco in Houston.
The Moroccans, having failed to impress in a bad-tempered first half, took the lead five minutes after the interval through Azzedine Ounahi.
Ounahi swept home Achraf Hakimi's cut-back free-kick from inside the D as the Canadian defence failed to close him down.
The Girona midfielder scored his second by converting a breakaway with eight minutes remaining to seal victory.
And an ultimately comfortable win was topped off in stoppage time as Soufiane Rahimi slid his shot under keeper Maxime Crepeau.
It was tough on Canada, who had started by far the stronger team in Texas and should have led early on.
"There was one team on the pitch," Canada boss Jesse Marsch said of his side's start to the game.
"We were better than the number seven team in the world today."
But Morocco progress, as they move one win away from equalling their historic run to the semi-finals at the 2022 World Cup.
Canada pressed the Moroccans relentlessly from the start, and both Jonathan David and Tani Oluwaseyi were denied one on one by Morocco keeper Bono inside the opening 11 minutes.
The African side were below par and clearly frustrated for long periods as eight yellow cards were shown by English referee Michael Oliver.
But Morocco ultimately came through and were close to a third when Rahimi looped a header off the crossbar - before the striker finally got his goal with the last touch of the match.
It means Canada's most successful men's World Cup campaign comes to an end - a tournament in which they earned their first point, win, group-stage progression and knockout victory.
"We want to thank you for making us dream," one Canadian journalist said to Marsch in the post-match news conference.
"Before, we never believed we'd ever make it this far. So we just want to say thank you."

Another country who enjoy getting to the quarter-finals are Morocco.
They have reached the quarter-finals in the last two World Cups and secured their spot after beating Canada.
Canada became the first host nation to drop out of this World Cup, with Morocco finishing the job in style.

Olise's rise to the toppublished at 08:24 BST
France 1-0 Paraguay
Emlyn Begley
BBC SportMichael Olise is not your typical footballer.
Born and raised in England, he is setting this World Cup alight with France.
The Bayern Munich forward, via Reading and Crystal Palace, usually shuns the spotlight, loves chess, barely celebrates goals and avoids interviews - and does not have a deal with any sportswear or boot companies.
After a season with 25 goals and 28 assists for the Bundesliga champions, the 24-year-old is now seen as one of the world's best players.
Olise has become the first player to assist five goals at one World Cup since Germany's Thomas Hassler in 1994.
Those who have known him since childhood say his reserved nature should not be seen as arrogance - it's just "Michael being Michael".
It is what he has always done.

France 1-0 Paraguay
France's Manchester City forward Rayan Cherki said that the Paraguay game showed the team can overcome provocation to win games.
"We knew it was going to be a fiercely contested match," he added.
"But it was important to us to play a game like this during the World Cup - to remind everyone that the French team can play beautiful football, but can also go to war."
William Saliba said Les Bleus were ready for Paraguay after studying videos of their previous games.
"They were going to come at us hard, commit fouls, and try to provoke us," added the defender, a Premier League winner with Arsenal.
"We had to stay in the game, because if we started wasting energy, getting into arguments, and losing our focus, things wouldn't go well.
"So, we stayed focused. It's not easy, but sometimes it feels good to win a tough match like this, because since the start of the tournament, we've been used to scoring three goals.
"Today, it was a 1-0 win, but it's just as valuable."

France 1-0 Paraguay
France boss Didier Deschamps after his side beat Paraguay: "I've seen a lot of things. I do not want to criticize Paraguay. Each team plays the way they want. But there were some insults from the other bench which I could have done without.
"The most important is by the end of the game that there were no disagreements and that we (did not) get another card. We got three yellow cards with a lot of fouls.
"I'm not saying that we did not make any fouls, but there were a lot from both teams."

France 1-0 Paraguay
It looked like being a frustrating game for France and their captain as they failed to register an attempt on target in the first half.
The extreme heat had an impact, with this game going down as one of the hottest World Cup matches of all-time. The temperature at kick-off was recorded on the official page for the National Weather Service at 38.3C.
The record for a World Cup game stands at 43C, when the Republic of Ireland played Mexico in Florida in 1994.
Yet France still found a way to overcome the heat - and Paraguay's rough tactics.
"We know how to play ugly football," Mabppe said afterwards.
"They [Paraguay] thought we'd show up in tuxedos, but we were ready. Even at that game, we were better than them.
"That's their style of football - there's no right or wrong way to play the game. They tried to beat us that way, but we won."
Deschamps, who is now the first coach to secure 10 World Cup knockout victories, revealed he had instructed his players to shield Mbappe in the closing stages as Paraguay searched for a way back into the game.
"I asked the two biggest lads to go and stand around Kylian at the end because they were going to chop him down," Deschamps added.
"It wasn't easy. They use every trick in the book. It's not the kind of football that will bring people to the stadium, but they defended well. It is always difficult against these South American teams."
Mbappe was targeted from the start but kept his cool and reacted to Paraguay's provocation by laughing off their tactics on the pitch.
