Portugal, led by Ronaldo, faces a tough round‑of‑32 match in the 2026 World Cup

Portugal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, faces a tough opponent in the round of 32 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Portugal finished second in their group after a 0‑0 draw with Colombia at the Miami Stadium, where the Colombian side held them to a goalless result.

Goalkeeper Diogo Costa made six crucial saves, keeping Los Cafeteros from scoring during a hot evening in Florida.

Davinson Sánchez thought he had secured a late win with a header from a short corner, but the goal was disallowed for offside after a close VAR review.

The scoreless draw was Colombia’s first goalless result in 25 World Cup matches, but it was enough for them to top Group K.

Colombia will face Ghana in the next round, while Portugal will meet a strong Croatia side led by the veteran Luka Modric.
