In plain language
- Portugal are currently 2nd in Group K on 1 point, with Uzbekistan left to play.
- A win over Uzbekistan sends Portugal through in most scenarios, but they may still need other results to go their way.
- A draw likely leaves Portugal dependent on the third-place ranking.
- A loss — especially by two or more — almost certainly eliminates Portugal unless several third-place teams collapse.
- Best result for Portugal: Portugal beat Uzbekistan + DR Congo beat Colombia + Portugal beat Colombia + DR Congo beat Uzbekistan.
- If Portugal finish third, qualification depends on being one of the eight best third-placed teams.
