This was a match with the cheapest ticket costing a whopping $2,600 on the second-hand market, and the game was a boring 0-0. Portugal had star players Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, and Pedro Neto, but still could not break the deadlock.
Cristiano and Portugal Must Improve
Portugal had their chances, especially in the first half, and Colombia missed some good opportunities in the second half. It was not until right at the end, in stoppage time, that the deadlock seemed to be broken. Davinson Sanchez won a header that went past Portuguese goalkeeper Diogo Costa.
As Sanchez went off to celebrate in front of the Colombia fans, the referee called it offside. The VAR reviewed it, and the goal was not given. So a 0-0 draw, and that makes it two draws for Portugal as they finish second in the Group behind Colombia. Cristiano and company will know they must improve if they are to go any further in this competition, while Colombia will be a tough match for any team.
