Colombia and Portugal played to a goalless draw in the final round of Group K matches at the FIFA 2026 World Cup on June 28 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, according to Qatar News Agency. The result ensured Colombia topped the group with seven points while Portugal advanced in second place with five points. DR Congo secured third place with four points after defeating Uzbekistan 3-1 in the simultaneous fixture and qualified for the round of 32 as one of the best third-placed teams.
Qatar News Agency reported that the first half remained evenly matched between the two sides with few clear scoring opportunities. Colombia exerted greater control after the interval yet failed to convert their pressure into a goal as Portuguese goalkeeper Diogo Costa produced several important saves. In the first minute of stoppage time Colombian defender Davinson Sanchez headed the ball into the net only for the effort to be disallowed for offside, leaving the scoreline at 0-0.
The Qatar News Agency summary placed Colombia at the top of Group K with seven points from two prior victories and the draw. Portugal accumulated five points after an earlier 5-0 win over Uzbekistan, FIFA’s official tournament page indicated. DR Congo reached four points with their 3-1 victory that featured a winning goal from Yoane Wisse while Uzbekistan finished with zero points after three defeats.
ESPN noted that the goalless result marked Colombia’s first draw without scoring in 25 World Cup matches. The agency added that both teams remained unbeaten in the group apart from Portugal’s win over Uzbekistan and Colombia’s narrow success against DR Congo. Group goal statistics showed Colombia with a plus-three difference and Portugal plus-five according to compiled standings on Wikipedia.
Qatar News Agency stated that Colombia will face Ghana in the round of 32 while Portugal meets Croatia on Friday. The draw allowed both favoured sides to progress without risking defeat on the final matchday. DR Congo’s qualification as a best third-placed team added an unexpected element to the group’s outcome.
FIFA data from earlier group fixtures confirmed Portugal’s dominant 5-0 victory over Uzbekistan on June 23 and Colombia’s 1-0 win against DR Congo the same day. The Hard Rock Stadium attendance reflected strong interest in the high-profile matchup between the South American and European sides. Further knockout fixtures will determine progression beyond the round of 32 for the advancing teams.
