who will portugal face if they beat colombia
Portugal would face the second-place team from Group L if they beat Colombia, according to the knockout-path breakdowns available from current match previews. One report says that exact opponent could have been England, Ghana, or Croatia , depending on how Group L finished.
What that means
- A Portugal win over Colombia would have put them top of Group K with seven points.
- That would send them into the Round of 32 against a Group L runner-up rather than a third-place team.
- The specific opponent depended on the final Group L standings, so the answer isn’t just one team unless Group L is already finalized.
Current context
Portugal and Colombia ended up drawing 0-0, which kept Colombia first in the group and sent Portugal down a different knockout path.
