Portugal are held by Colombia
A point, not three. Portugal drew 0–0 with Colombia in the group stage — not a disaster, but the kind of afternoon that makes the final round of matches feel a little tighter.

Why it matters
Group stage, Group K — points on the line.
Luis Díaz
Colombia
The man Colombia look to when they need a spark — pace, directness and the kind of moments that decide knockout football.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Portugal
The elder statesman chasing one final World Cup story — inspirational at his best, a delicate balancing act at worst.
Portugal are into the last 32. Job done in the group, and now the tournament really begins — one-and-done from here, every match a final.
Colombia are into the last 32. Job done in the group, and now the tournament really begins — one-and-done from here, every match a final.
Nobody deserves to lose a game like this, and tonight it was Colombia. Level with Switzerland at 0–0 through 120 minutes in the last 16, they fell 3–4 in the shootout. Penalties don't measure the better team — only who's left standing — and that will be no comfort at all tonight. Some defeats you argue about; this one you just carry.
And there it ends. Portugal fall to Spain, and a summer of following them is over. It stings now — but what a ride it was, and there's no shame in going out swinging.
