Colombia secured the top spot in Group K at the 2026 World Cup after a scoreless draw against Portugal in Miami.
The match saw Colombian fans make up nearly 90 percent of the crowd, creating a spectacular atmosphere reminiscent of a home game.
Colombia created the better opportunities throughout the fixture. A stoppage-time header by Davinson Sánchez was ruled out for offside.
Portugal struggled offensively under manager Roberto Martínez, failing to find consistency in two out of their three group matches.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who had previously celebrated a goal against Uzbekistan with a loud declaration, was kept quiet by Colombia's defense.
The 41-year-old forward remained peripheral throughout most of the match.
Colombia threatened early when a Luis Díaz pass led to a Jhon Córdoba header, followed by a smart save from Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa.
Portugal responded with a Bruno Fernandes shot that Camilo Vargas saved, while Ronaldo's subsequent overhead kick attempt was blocked.
Second-half pressure from Colombia included attempts by Richard Ríos, Jhon Arias, and a James Rodríguez shot cleared by Renato Veiga.
