​Portugal’s next World Cup challenge comes in the knockout rounds as they square off with Croatia in the Round of 32. The match is set for Thursday, July 2 at 7 p.m. ET at BMO Field in Toronto. Portugal advanced from Group K in second place, earning a tougher elimination-round test as they aim to claim their first World Cup title.
Portugal’s group results included a 1-1 draw with DR Congo in Houston, a dominant 5-0 victory over Uzbekistan in Houston, and a 0-0 stalemate against Colombia in Miami Gardens. The Group K standings show Portugal in second, behind Colombia, with DR Congo and Uzbekistan following.
The Roads to the knockout stage place the Group K winner into a Round of 32 clash against a third-placed team from Groups D, E, I, J, or L, while the runner-up faces the Group L runner-up. If Portugal finishes as one of the best eight third-placed teams, they could encounter the Group L winner in the Round of 32.
