With Iraq and Monaco already eliminated going into the final matchday in the group, it's left to South Africa, Costa Rica and Côte d'Ivoire to fight it out. Group leaders South Africa, who are still unbeaten and with a 100% record from their 3 games need just a draw against Costa Rica to ensure they claim top spot in the group. South Africa are already guaranteed to pass to the Round of 16 as a best 3rd-placed nation at the very least.

Costa Rica will qualify automatically for the Round of 16 with a win and will also qualify for the Round of 16 with a draw since they will be a best 3rd-placed nation at the very least.
