South Korea vs Ghana[]
The two teams had faced each other eight times, most recently in 2014, a friendly which Ghana won 4–0.
When referee Anthony Taylor ended the game instead of allowing a South Korean player to kick off a corner, South Korea's head coach Paulo Bento ran onto the field and screamed at the referee, for which he was shown a red card, making it the first time in World Cup history that a coach was sent off after the conclusion of the match. Counting players' Leandro Cufré's and Josip Šimunić's red cards (both in 2006), this was the third time a sending off occurred after the match had ended.

Portugal vs Uruguay[]
The teams had met three times including once in the World Cup, in Uruguay's 2–1 round of 16 victory in 2018.
Bruno Fernandes put Portugal into the lead when his cross from the left deceived Uruguay keeper Sergio Rochet after Cristiano Ronaldo had tried to glance it past him. Ronaldo was initially ruled as the goalscorer before FIFA determined that he hadn't connected with the ball and instead awarded the goal to Fernandes. Fernandes scored a second in the 93rd minute, a penalty awarded by the VAR for handball by José Giménez, which he rolled into the left side of the net. With this victory, Portugal secured a place in the round of 16.

Discipline[]
Fair play points will be used as tiebreakers if the overall and head-to-head records of teams are tied. These are calculated based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches as follows:
- first yellow card: minus 1 point;
- indirect red card (second yellow card): minus 3 points;
- direct red card: minus 4 points;
- yellow card and direct red card: minus 5 points;
Only one of the above deductions can be applied to a player in a single match.
