Slovakia 0-2 Paraguay: The first good chance of this Group F game falls to Roque Santa Cruz but he sees his deflected shot turned around the post by Slovakia goalkeeper Jan Mucha
Peter Pekarik and his defensive colleagues are kept busy by Nelson Valdez as the South American team continue to have the better of things in the early stages
The goal they deserve arrives in the 27th minute when Enrique Vera gets on the end of Lucas Barrios's pass before squeezing a shot past Mucha
Slovakia look a little more lively after this and only some good defending from Antolin Alcaraz prevents Stanislav Sestak from going close as Paraguay head to the break with their lead intact
Manager Vladimir Weiss sees his charges continue to improve after the break but they remain unconvincing in the final third of the pitch when it really counts
With their opponents failing to find an equaliser, Paraguay seal victory with a second goal four minutes from time courtesy of Cristian Riveros (centre) who fires home an unstoppable shot from the edge of the box
Italy 1-1 New Zealand: There is some early pain for veteran Italy full-back Gianluca Zambrotta after Rory Fallon's arm makes contact with his face while the two contest a header
The pain becomes almost unbearable for the world champions on seven minutes when Shane Smeltz prods the All Whites into a sensational lead from what some replays suggest could have been an offside position
Unsurprisingly the European side comeback strongly and have a number of chances before Daniele De Rossi wins a penalty after having his shirt tugged by Tommy Smith
Experienced striker Vincenzo Iaquinta, who plays his club football for Juventus, successfully converts the spot-kick to make it 1-1 shortly before the half hour much to the relief of his team-mates
Not satisfied with his side's performance, Marcello Lippi opts to bring on Antonio Di Natale and Mauro Camoranesi in place of Alberto Gilardino and Simone Pepe at the start of the second half
Di Natale wastes no time getting involved and fires a shot goalwards soon after the interval only for goalkeeper Mark Paston to punch it clear
Italy throw everything at New Zealand but cannot find a way past Paston who makes some fine saves as the All Whites pull off the shock result of the tournament
The draw keeps Ricki Herbert's side on level points with Italy meaning that if they win their final Group F game against Paraguay they will go through to the knockout phase for the first time in their history
Brazil 3-1 Ivory Coast: The final game of the day pits the five-time world champions from Brazil against Ivory Coast, managed by Sven-Goran Eriksson
Brazil take the lead after 25 minutes with a spectacular strike from a narrow angle by Sevilla centre-forward Luis Fabiano
The scorer is mobbed by his team-mates after scoring his first international goal of 2010 giving Brazil the advantage in an otherwise cagey first half
Ivory Coast captain Didier Drogba is a picture of frustration as he struggles to impose himself on the game at Soccer City, Johannesburg
Luis Fabiano strikes again early in the second half with a powerful left-footed half-volley, although he appears to handle the ball twice in the build-up
Former Manchester City midfielder Elano gets ahead of his marker to score the third to wrap up the three points for Brazil after a fine cross from Kaka
But the goalscorer's joy is short-lived as he has to be stretchered off after injuring a shin in a dangerous tackle by Tiote
Didier Drogba springs the offside trap to head a late consolation for the Ivory Coast, but his strike could prove crucial if second place in the group comes down to goal difference
The game ended in controversy as Kaka was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for what looked an innocuous challenge on Kader Keita
