Key storylines to follow
The face-off between Colombia and Portugal is a key match in FIFA's Group K. While CBS Sports notes that Colombia entered the tournament as a sleeper favorite, Portugal remains a formidable opponent with Cristiano Ronaldo on the roster. Portugal is also entering Saturday's match after a blistering 5-0 win over Uzbekistan, a much-needed victory after a 1-1 draw against the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo).
Meanwhile, Colombia has remained perfect through two matches, meaning the team needs a draw at minimum to clinch first place in Group K and advance to the Round of 32. Colombia could still advance even if it loses Saturday evening's match, albeit with a second-place finish in the group.
Portugal also needs at least a draw to guarantee a spot in the Round of 32. A win would mean Portugal leads Group K, while a draw would send them forward as the second-place finisher for the group. A loss, however, is where it could get interesting for Ronaldo and Portugal.
If Portugal loses, the next steps are determined by what happens in DR Congo's match against Uzbekistan, kicking off at 5:30 ET in Atlanta. If DR Congo wins, then Portugal faces them for a rematch to break the tie. Should this happen, Portugal needs either a draw or a win to secure second place in the group, while DR Congo needs a win against Portugal to jump to second place and stay in the cup. If DR Congo draws with Uzbekistan, DR Congo is almost certainly out.
Uzbekistan is unlikely to advance in the tournament as it can't finish in the top two. The only remaining path forward is locking in a third-place spot, and right now, the team has zero standings points and a deeply negative goal difference of -7. A draw or loss ends its run, and even with a win, Uzbekistan is unlikely to advance.
