Portugal beats Uzbekistan 5-0, Barboza comments
Paulo Barboza commented on Uzbekistan's defeat and said that his team performed relatively poorly against Portugal.
Portugal agent Paulo Barboza commented on the result of the match between Portugal and Uzbekistan in the second round of the World Cup 2026. He pointed out that Uzbekistan did not attack for the first 20 minutes in the 5–0 defeat against Portugal. Barboza said, "Uzbekistan played very poorly against Colombia yesterday. It was surprising, because they have a good team. In the first 20 minutes, Uzbekistan did not enter the attack, then they started to play a little better, but they were far from the level they have shown before in this World Cup, which led to a 0-5 loss. Portugal played much better than Congo, especially in the first half. But our team found its level. "We have to step up, because Colombia is next, and we have to play better in both defense and attack."
