Recent form

Colombia have a perfect record at the World Cup so far beating both Congo DR and Uzbekistan.

Portugal had a tough start to the tournament, drawing 1-1 with Congo DR. However, they bounced back in style putting five past Uzbekistan in their second match. Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in that match.

What’s been said?

Portugal boss Roberto Martinez explained that he is focused on winning the game, despite being already through to the round of 32.

“The focus is to try to win the game and not think about the next opponent,” Martínez saud. “If you want to do well in the tournament, you have to beat anyone and everyone.

“In a tournament like the World Cup, there’s no single right path or position. What matters is that we play at our best, and you can only do that by winning.”

Portugal are Colombia’s first major test of the competition so far, but their manager Nestor Lorenzo said they will play the same way as they have done previously.

“We’ll try to maintain our style and our footballing identity,” he told reporters on Friday. 

“But without a doubt, we have to pay attention to the other characteristics and strengths Portugal have. It’s a very well-coached team. They have a coach and players who are at the elite level of world football … and that shows in their game.”
