Colombia, already winners over DR Congo (1-0) in this Group K, and Portugal, who had beaten Uzbekistan (5-0), are meeting in a tight match but one lacking attacking spark so far.

The two teams have traded blows without managing to convert their attempts. Colombia, set up in a 4-3-3 with Camilo Vargas in goal and an attacking trio of James Rodríguez, Jhon Córdoba and Luis Díaz, have put three shots on target, one of which was blocked. Portugal, the group favorites, are playing in a 4-2-3-1 with Cristiano Ronaldo up front and Bruno Fernandes, João Félix and Pedro Neto in support. Their only shot on target has not been enough to open the scoring.

Portugal have had more of the possession (63%) and show greater passing accuracy (91%) than Colombia, who have completed only 79% of their passes. Portuguese goalkeeper Diogo Costa and his Colombian counterpart Camilo Vargas have both been called into action but kept clean sheets during this first half.

Despite the absence of clear decisive chances, a few players such as Vitinha for Portugal and Davinson Sánchez for Colombia have stood out for their discipline and involvement, without, however, posing an attacking threat. There have been no cards or major incidents to report.
