Nigeria 4-1 Iran. The Nigerians look like the closest thing so far to a viable challenger to Brazil's status as favorite. They've scored 18 goals in four matches. Razan Alzayani / The National -
Uruguay 4-2 Slovakia. Uruguay topped Group B, beating out Italy and Ivory Coast - no easy task - before knocking out Slovakia. They'll be matched up with Nigeria on November 2 in Sharjah. Karim Sahib / AFP -
Italy 0-2 Mexico. After taking down a tough opponent in Italy, Mexico - the reigning champions of the U17 World Cup - now have the unenviable task of playing Brazil on November 1 in Dubai. Marwan Naamani / AFP -
Morocco 1-2 Ivory Coast. The Ivorians ended Morocco's underdog run and now become an underdog themselves against Argentina on November 2 in Sharjah. Sarah Dea / The National -
Japan 1-2 Sweden. The Swedes were also put to end a fairytale run, that of Japan's, after coming out of Group F a third-place squad. They'll face another underdog in Honduras on November 1 in Al Ain. Karim Sahib / AFP -
Argentina 3-1 Tunisia. The Argentinians put to rest Tunisia's run and will look to do the same to another African team when they face Ivory Coast. Ali Haider / EPA -
Honduras 1-0 Uzbekistan. Whichever team came out of this round-of-16 matchup was likely to be considered the major underdog left in the tournament, and it turns out it will be Central Americans Honduras. Karim Sahib / AFP
