The 2026 World Cup third-place playoff has etched its name in history as the highest-scoring bronze medal match ever witnessed at a FIFA World Cup.
Never before had ten goals been scored in a single encounter at this stage of the global tournament.
With England's thrilling 6-4 victory over France, both teams surpassed a record previously held by another match involving the French.
That record dated back to 1958, when France emerged victorious, defeating West Germany 6-3.
Overall, the two sides upheld the tradition of high-scoring affairs in this particular match, with fewer than three goals being scored on only four occasions (1962, 1970, 1974, 2018).
Now, only one more match remains at the 2026 World Cup, also scheduled for today, July 19th (Sunday). At 10:00 PM Bulgarian time, Argentina and Spain will clash in the tournament's grand final. This match, along with all 104 games from the global championship held across the USA, Canada, and Mexico, can be watched live on bnt.sportal.bg.
