World Cup 2026: Colombia 0-0 Portugal - Davinson Sanchez's late goal ruled out for offside as Colombia finish top of Group K with Portugal runners-up Match report as Colombia qualify for the round of 32 as Group K winners to set up Ghana clash; Davinson Sanchez's late goal was ruled out for offside by a toe; Portugal finish as runners-up, with Rafael Leao also going close late on; they will face Croatia in the next round Sunday 28 June 2026 03:07, UK Colombia secured top spot in Group K after an entertaining 0-0 draw against Portugal in their final group game, as Roberto Martinez's side finish as runners-up. The South Americans knew a point would be enough to send them through in first, setting up a round of 32 tie against Ghana in Kansas City on Saturday July 4. They will face former boss Carlos Queiroz, who had a disastrous spell in charge between 2019 and 2020. Portugal - who had to win to earn first place - will face Croatia in Toronto on Friday July 3 and could potentially face Spain in the last 16. - As it happened | Teams | Stats | Round of 32: Who is playing who? - World Cup day-by-day schedule | Latest: World Cup - Follow our World Cup coverage in the Sky Sports App Colombia could have secured all three points as Davinson Sanchez's late goal was ruled out for offside on-field. VAR checked it and concurred, with replays showing his toe was in an offside position. Portugal could also have nicked it at the death, but Rafael Leao poked wide in what would have been a bitter blow for a Colombia side who had the better of the chances in an end-to-end game in a raucous Miami. While neither side could produce the goal to entertain the masses - which included film stars Matt Damon and John Leguizamo - it will go down as one of the best goalless draws in tournament history, and the first time Colombia have failed to score in a World Cup match. The key moments from Miami... 1: OVER! Jhon Cordoba sends a header over the bar within seconds of the kick off. 22: CLOSE! Ruben Neves clears Jhon Arias' effort almost on the line as Colombia go close again. 39: SAVE! Vargas makes a brilliant save to keep Fernandes out. 60: OFFSIDE! Cristiano Ronaldo drags his effort wide - but the flag is up. 62: CHANCE! Richard Rios almost scores with one of his first touches, but pokes around the post. 90+1: OFFSIDE! Sanchez fires home on a tight angle - but the flag is up. This is soon confirmed by VAR. 90+3: CLOSE! Leao pokes wide as Portugal go close to stealing a victory.
