Group K final night: line‑ups for Colombia‑Portugal and DR Congo‑Uzbekistan

Starting line‑ups have been released for the final Group K fixtures of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with Colombia facing Portugal in Miami and DR Congo taking on Uzbekistan in Atlanta tonight. The announcements set the stage for the tournament’s closing group‑stage matches in the United States.

Group K wraps up tonight across two venues, Miami and Atlanta. Colombia, the South American group leaders, need only a draw to stay on top, while Portugal must also secure a draw to advance to the Round of 32 in second place.

If Portugal were to lose, the group dynamics could shift dramatically, whereas a Portuguese victory would reverse the order in which the two sides arrived. Cristiano Ronaldo and other national stars are set to continue their summer tournament tours.

DR Congo make their first World Cup appearance since 1974, when they competed as Zaire. The team sits on one point entering this evening, three points shy of a historic knockout‑stage qualification.

Uzbekistan have already been eliminated from contention. Their starting eleven lines up in a 5‑4‑1 formation, with Nematov in goal and a back line of Khusanov, Alijnov, Ashurmatov, Nasrullaev and Urozov.

The midfield features Mozgovoy, Shukurov, Khamdanov and Fayzzulaev, while Shomurodov leads the attack. The side referred to as Guerriers de l'Équateur also sits on one point, sharing the same precarious position.

Both matches will determine which teams progress from Group K, and fans will be watching closely as the final group‑stage night unfolds.
