Cristiano Ronaldo and co need the win to usurp their opponents, and a draw to secure second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a scenario that sees DR Congo (one point) leapfrog above Portugal into second, but for this to happen they must beat Uzbekistan, hope Portugal lose, and in the process make up a six goal swing. However, a win would be good enough for a best third-place finish, which could see them face England in the last-32.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for Uzbekistan, they are on zero points and likely to be heading home even if they do win, given their goal difference is -7.

Meanwhile, Colombia can complete a clean sweep of group stage matches for only the second time in their history, and first since 2014 when they reached the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cristiano Ronaldo continues to rewrite the record books. His brace in the 5-0 victory over Uzbekistan saw him the first player to score at six different World Cups, while also taking his tally to 10 World Cup goals, which moved him clear of Eusebio as Portugal&#8217;s all-time leading scorer at the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another double against Colombia would see the 41-year-old draw level with Brazil legend Pele on 12 World Cup goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/23181804\/CristianoRonaldo23062026_ID3ETP4MG-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1462375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/23181804\/CristianoRonaldo23062026_ID3ETP4MG-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/23181804\/CristianoRonaldo23062026_ID3ETP4MG-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/23181804\/CristianoRonaldo23062026_ID3ETP4MG-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/23181804\/CristianoRonaldo23062026_ID3ETP4MG-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/23181804\/CristianoRonaldo23062026_ID3ETP4MG-356x200.jpg 356w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/23181804\/CristianoRonaldo23062026_ID3ETP4MG-107x60.jpg 107w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/23181804\/CristianoRonaldo23062026_ID3ETP4MG-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/23181804\/CristianoRonaldo23062026_ID3ETP4MG-132x74.jpg 132w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/06\/23181804\/CristianoRonaldo23062026_ID3ETP4MG.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniel Munoz has emerged as one of Colombia&#8217;s top attacking assets at this tournament.

It was always going to be a tough task to get anything from those two games and, while their hopes of finishing as a best third-placed team are pretty slim, they can at least bow out of the tournament by getting a result against DR Congo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep an eye on Uzbekistan\u2019s Bekhruz Karimov, who could become only the fourth player aged 18 or under to start all three group stage games at a World Cup after Mexico\u2019s Manuel Rosas (1930), Northern Ireland\u2019s Norman Whiteside (1982), and Spain\u2019s Gavi four years ago in Qatar.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his last game Karimov, 18, was on the opposite team to Ronaldo, 41, which was the largest gap &#8211; 22 years and 183 days &#8211; ever recorded between two starting players at the World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read
