Cristiano Ronaldo's farewell campaign got off to a worrying start as Portugal were held to a 1–1 stalemate by DR Congo, and Roberto Martinez's squad has now quickly found itself in must-win territory.
The World Cup's expanded format and additional knockout round mean Portugal aren't yet in danger of an embarrassing early elimination, but they'd prefer not to be scrambling on Matchday 3 against a deceptively strong Colombia side.
Portugal possesses the quality to go all the way in this tournament, but there's a limit to how far they can go while continuing to build their game around a 41-year-old striker who cuts an "Ozymandias"-like figure in the dying embers of his career.
Standing in the Iberians' way next is Fabio Cannavaro's Uzbekistan, who suffered a 3–1 defeat to Colombia in their World Cup debut. DR Congo's resolute defensive display provided a template, but Portugal can be expected to be far more fluid and clinical in their ball usage on Matchday 2.
Here's how to catch Portugal's crucial clash with the tournament newcomers.

Meanwhile, Uzbekistan's group stage concludes against DR Congo in Atlanta. The Leopards will be within touching distance of qualification after claiming a point against Portugal, but Uzbekistan will likely need a positive result on Tuesday to keep their hopes alive. Failing that, Cannavaro's men will need to win on Matchday 3 to advance as one of the eight best third-place finishers.
