Colombia and Portugal face off at the World Cup with a final group stage game to determine who wins Group K. The Colombians come in on six points and needing only a draw to move on to the knockout rounds in first place. The Portuguese are on four points and need to win to leap over their opponents in the standings. Few group stage games can match the hype of this heavyweight battle.
Colombia won their first two games in the group, besting Uzbekistan 3-1 and DR Congo 1-0. It hasn't always been easy for Luis Diaz and company, but they've gotten the results they needed. They were level with Uzbekistan in the opener before Diaz broke the deadlock in the 65th minute. Daniel Munoz finally put Colombia on top over DR Conco in the 76th minute of the second game.
Portugal was stunned in their opener when they couldn't get three points off of DR Congo. Despite Joao Neves' sixth-minute goal, the Portuguese looked listless for long stretches and gave up the equalizer just before the stroke of halftime. They needed to bounce back in the second game and they did just that with a 5-0 drubbing of Uzbekistan. Cristiano Ronaldo got two much-needed goals in that one.

Lineups
Portugal has an unchanged lineup from their last game. Colombia are starting with Daniel Munoz and Johan Mojica on the bench, replaced by Santiago Arias and Deiver Machado. Mojica is on a yellow card, so he is likely being protected from a round of 32 suspension. As for Munoz, Colombia's leading goalscorer at the World Cup so far, his benching is a significant surprise. He played the full 90 in each of Colombia's first games.
