Portugal will face already eliminated South Korea while Brazil will face highly motivated Cameroon who will hope to beat Brazil to have a chance of making the knockout stages of the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.



Brazil will continue to be without Neymar for the match, and Portugal's coach has urged his team to beat South Korea so as to top the group and not just because of Brazil. He said this after last night's match, as quoted by Get Football.

Fernando Santos statement

“If we both stay in first place [in our groups] it’s better, but, if we had to face each other, it would be a game between two great teams. But our wish, and Brazil’s, is that we meet later on. We want to be at the top of the group and not just because of Brazil.” he said.

Santos has enough attacking talent, spearheaded by Cristiano Ronaldo, at his disposal to beat an already eliminated and demoralized South Korea.

Portugal need full focus

Sports Brief earlier reported that Portugal have been rocked with different news regarding Cristiano Ronaldo's contract termination at Manchester United.

The news has generated news and questions around the Portuguese national team, with journalists asking questions from the coach and Ronaldo's former Manchester United teammates.

They had another controversy in the 2-0 win over Uruguay, which was awarded to Bruno Fernandes but Cristiano Ronaldo believes he got a touch on it.
