On the tournament’s last group‑stage day, Portugal count on Cristiano Ronaldo to secure the Group K summit against Colombia. A win would lock the top spot and guarantee a favorable knockout draw. Meanwhile, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uzbekistan battle for the elusive third‑place slot that still offers a path to the round of 16. Silva will dictate tempo, easing pressure on Ronaldo tonight.

England, already through from Group L, face a dead‑rubber Panama match to preserve a first‑place finish, while Croatia meets Ghana in a clash that could decide the group’s runner‑up. The decisive showdown arrives in Algeria versus Austria, where the victor likely clinches the second qualification spot and keeps a third‑place hope alive. A victory for Austria would also push the Germans into the best‑third‑place ranking overall.

Argentina rest Lionel Messi on the bench as they close Group J against Jordan, who are already eliminated. The decision underscores Argentina’s confidence after topping the group earlier and avoids injury risk before the knockout stage. Jordan’s early exit means they will field an experimental side, offering little resistance. With all groups settled, the tournament now shifts to the round of 16, where match‑ups are set.
