Portugal and Colombia Put Group K Authority on the Same Pitch

Portugal and Colombia carry enough individual quality into their Group K meeting for the match to feel bigger than an ordinary group fixture.

The question is not only who wins the ball more often; it is which side turns possession into the cleaner shot profile.

What the result changes
