Fans of football enjoyed a memorable day filled with unusual moments. In a match that took place early in Britain, Panama’s Cecilio Waterman received a caution for hugging former player Thierry Henry. Waterman scored the game-winning goal against the USA in the Concacaf Nations League semi-finals. He expressed his admiration for Henry, saying the player has been an inspiration for years. Meanwhile, in another match, New Zealand's Chris Wood scored three goals as his team defeated Fiji 7-0. However, he was booked by the referee for signing autographs in the stands during the game. Wood defended his actions, saying he just wanted to do something nice for the fans. Looking ahead, Wood’s New Zealand will play against New Caledonia in the finals. Journalists are hopeful for another surprising outcome, similar to Iceland’s earlier success in qualifying for the World Cup. New Caledonia is a smaller nation, raising curiosity about how they might perform.
