Despite being one of the favourites, Portugal’s FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign has been quite rocky. They started off with a draw against DR Congo, then a 5-0 win over Uzbekistan reinstilled their vigour. Then followed a 0-0 draw against Colombia, which meant that Portugal only finished second in Group K.
In the Round of 32 clash, Portugal faced a huge scare against Croatia, even going down a goal. But Ronaldo converted a penalty, and his substitute Goncalo Ramos slammed a dramatic injury time goal, to secure Portugal’s spot in the next stage.
