Ronaldo Equals Matthäus' World Cup Record, Only Messi Ahead

The highly anticipated 2026 World Cup clash in Miami between Colombia and Portugal ended in a goalless draw. However, the stalemate was enough for both teams to secure their spots in the Round of 16, finishing first and second in their group, respectively.

In the next round, the Colombians will face Ghana on Friday, July 3rd, in Kansas. Portugal, on the other hand, will have a significantly tougher opponent. A major derby against Luka Modric's Croatia awaits them on Thursday, July 2nd, in Toronto.

Cristiano Ronaldo once again started the match, and despite failing to score, he achieved another impressive record. He played his 25th World Cup game, drawing level with German legend Lothar Matthäus for second place on the all-time list. Only Lionel Messi has more appearances, with 28.
