167 - Devdutt Padikkal's (@BCCI) 167 against Sri Lanka is the highest score of any player for India batting at No.3 in a men's Test away from home since Cheteshwar Pujara's 193 vs Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground in January 2019. Proactive. #TeamIndia #SLvIND

2013 e 1999 - Il #Messico non perdeva una partita ufficiale allo stadio Azteca dal 2013 contro l’Honduras (qualificazioni ai Mondiali 2014) e ha subito 3 gol in una sfida in questo impianto per la prima volta dall'agosto 1999 (vittoria per 4-3 contro il Brasile). Stregato.

1 - Cabo Verde became the first African nation to score more than one goal in a World Cup match against the defending champions. They were also the second African nation to score 2+ goals in a WC match against Argentina, after Nigeria in 2014. Audacity. 🦈
You showed the world who Cape Verde really is. Thank you for everything. Forever proud. 🇨🇻💙 #FIFAWorldCup

1 - Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty against Croatia was his only touch inside the opposition box in his 81 minutes spent on the pitch. It was also his first-ever goal in the knockout stages of the World Cup. Breakthrough.

2 - At 17 years, 259 days old, Mexico’s Gilberto Mora became the second youngest player to start a knockout match at the FIFA World Cup behind only Pelé in 1958 (17 years and 239 days in first knockout appearance). Prodigy. #FIFAWorldCup
