Daily Recap

Tuesday, 23 June 2026

It was a day of star turns across global sport, with the World Cup and the NBA both delivering headline drama. In football, Erling Haaland’s double carried Norway past Senegal 3-2 and into the last 32, while Kylian Mbappé struck twice in a storm-delayed 3-0 win over Iraq to send France through as well. Lionel Messi, meanwhile, made history for Argentina, scoring twice in a 2-0 victory over Austria to become the World Cup’s outright record goalscorer and book his side’s place in the knockout stage. Algeria also kept its tournament alive, rallying from behind to beat Jordan 2-1 for a long-awaited World Cup win. Off the pitch, the biggest shock came from the NBA, where reports say Giannis Antetokounmpo is headed to Miami in a blockbuster trade that could reshape the balance of power in the Eastern Conference.
