Commentary
Colombia's first goalless World Cup game arrives at the 25th time of asking, but they won't care as they've sealed their place in the round of 32 as Group K winners with this 0-0 draw against Portugal. The Tricolor and Selecao put on a great show in Miami despite the scoreline, with a plethora of big chances going begging as both teams underperformed their 1.63 and 0.69 xGs. While there feels like so many opportunities to talk about and analyse, the final flashpoint ultimately arrives with Davinson Sanchez's disallowed goal at the death. In added time, a corner was worked short before a superb cross found the head of the ex-Tottenham man. However, celebrations were quickly interrupted, as VAR saw that the centre-back's right big toe was offside in the cruellest of fashions. After this, Colombia look ahead to playing Ghana, while Portugal prepare for a clash with Croatia. Thank you for joining us tonight, we hope you enjoyed the game!
FULL-TIME: COLOMBIA 0-0 PORTUGAL
Munoz nearly creeps round the back as Colombia keep searching for a late winner. Costa pounces and comes out at the feet of the Palace man as he gets a blow to the head.
Oh my word. Replays of the offside have just popped up. Sanchez is offside by a TOE.
The goal WON'T stand. While it looked like Leao was playing the former Spurs defender onside, VAR has another angle and chalks it off. That must've been incredibly tight!

After that scare, Nuno Mendes is replaced by Manchester City's Matheus Nunes.
