Bruno Fernandes vs Luis Díaz: the duel that decides Group K
Portugal needs a victory to not depend on other people's results and Colombia seeks to maintain its lead. Tactics, stars and pressure at stake in the 2026 World Cup.
Portugal faces Colombia this Friday, June 20, 2026, in a decisive game of the 2026 World Cup in Group K. Victory is mandatory for the Portuguese, who cannot depend on third parties to guarantee the leadership. With 4 points, Colombia leads the group, but a defeat does not eliminate the South Americans — it only leaves room for other people's mistakes.
The duel is also a reunion between Bruno Fernandes and Luis Díaz, two of their teams' most decisive players. Fernandes, the Portuguese midfield playmaker, arrives with the mission of organizing the attack and exploiting the Colombian defenses. Díaz, a fast and lethal winger, is the main offensive weapon for Néstor Lorenzo's men.
