Portugal didn't get its World Cup off to the start it would've wanted, drawing DR Congo in its opening match.
The Portuguese side gets a chance at finding its stride on Tuesday when it takes on Uzbekistan in continued Group K action.
Uzbekistan dropped its first match to Colombia and is viewed as a heavy underdog.
Portugal made the big call already on Tuesday, keeping Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting lineup despite an invisible performance in their opening match.
Uzbekistan is outclassed as far as talent, but they do feature Abdukodir Khusanov, a Manchester City central defender, who will be tasked with slowing down Ronaldo and the rest of the Portugal firepower.
We'll be keeping track of all the action in the various sections below.
