Portugal forward Pedro Neto has full confidence in skipper Cristiano Ronaldo’s chances of adding to his World Cup tally when they face Colombia in a vital Group ‘K’ clash here on Saturday.
After a disappointing display in the 1-1 draw against DR Congo, Ronaldo bounced back to score two goals in the 5-0 rout of Uzbekistan. While Portugal will most certainly go through to the knockouts even if they lose to Colombia, a win will help them finish atop their group, giving them a slightly easier opponent in the last 32.
