📋 Portugal melakukan dua perubahan untuk pertandingan penentu melawan Uzbekistan

Portugal play their second — and already decisive — match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup this Tuesday (23), at 2pm, against Uzbekistan at the Houston stadium in the United States.

The clash, valid for Group K, is crucial for qualification and, in theory, the easiest one for the Portuguese team in the group stage.

Lineups

🇵🇹 Portugal

Head coach: Roberto Martínez

After a disappointing debut with a draw against DR Congo, Portugal went through a turbulent week, marked by controversy and expectations over Cristiano Ronaldo’s performance. 

Martínez will have Ruben Dias back in defense. And João Félix comes in for Bernardo Silva. 

🇺🇿 Uzbekistan

Head coach: Fabio Cannavaro

Making their World Cup debut, Uzbekistan are trying to become another surprise package at this tournament. In their opener, they were beaten 3-1 by Colombia. So taking points off Portugal is essential to keep any hope of qualification alive.
