GROUP A
Brazil, Croatia and Mexico went into this final group stage round hoping to qualify for the round of 16. The ranking of the teams did not change at all during both matches as Brazil stayed in First, Mexico in Second and Croatia in third. Brazil added three points with a 4-1 victory over Cameron. The goals were scored by Neyman twice, Fred and Fernandinho. Cameron consolation goal was scored by Matip. Mexico defeated Croatia in a match that witnessed four goals in the last 18 minutes of the match. Mexican goal scorers were Marquez, Guadrado and Hernandez while Croatia answered afterwards by Persic. There was a point were Brazil and Mexico had the same goal difference and any goal by Cameron or Mexico in their respective matches could have put Brazil against Netherlands in the round of 16 but the fourth goal by Brazil and the only goal of Croatia stopped that from happening.
GROUP B
The qualification in Group B has been set since round two in favor of Netherlands and Chile. Both teams went head to head in a contest to avoid playing Brazil as the likely winner of Group A and snatch the first rank in Group B. Netherlands prevailed victorious with Fer and Memphis goals against no goals from Chile to become the first team to get the full mark in the group stage. The other match was a consolation win for previous champions Spain over Australia 3-0. The three goals were scored by Villa, Torres and Mata.
