Colombia and Portugal played out a 0–0 draw at Miami Stadium that was enough for Néstor Lorenzo's side to top Group K. James Rodríguez, Jhon Arias and Luis Díaz combined for a frenetic second half in which Colombia had a late winner ruled out for offside, but neither side could break the deadlock despite end-to-end football in front of 64,478 fans.
Colombia finished with 55% possession, 24 shots and six on target to Portugal's 13 and two. Diogo Costa was named Superior Player of the Match after several fine saves, while Gustavo Puerta was booked late on. Cristiano Ronaldo blanked on the night but Portugal still advance as group runners-up on five points.
Colombia finish top of Group K on seven points and will face Ghana in the round of 32. Portugal take second place and meet Croatia in Miami. DR Congo's comeback win over Uzbekistan in Atlanta secured third place in the group and a date with England.
