In the hotly contested Group H of Death, Portugal and South Korea engaged in a firefight.
Portugal beat Uruguay in the second round of group matches to advance to the Round of 16, but to lock up the top spot in the group, the Portuguese need another point in today's match. In doing so, they can avoid a tough encounter with Brazil in the round of 16.
Portugal's star player on the pitch, as I expected before the game, was none other than Bono Fernandes. The Manchester United midfielder has been world class in his use of the ball and his determination in this tournament. However, with a yellow card in his possession, he's likely to start the game on the bench. As a result, the burden of distributing the ball may fall on the shoulders of Bernardo Schwarz.
The South Korean team lost 2-3 against Ghana, despite dominating the game for a long time. It should be noted that although the "Taejik Tigers" lost unfortunately, the team did not grasp the dead ball attack enough, and wasted all 12 corner kick chances, which is also one of the reasons for their loss.
Son Heung-min is not in the best of form and the Tottenham striker is hardly a threat to Portugal's defense. I predict that Portugal will win again and become the first team to win all three matches in the group stage of the World Cup.
