Portugal failed in their attempt to beat Brazil and climb above the World Cup heavyweights after a goalless Group G match in Durban.

Brazil clinched top spot while the Portuguese got the point they needed to finish second in the standings to also progress to the last 16 ahead of the Ivory Coast, who defeated North Korea.

The Brazilians will play the runners-up of Group H in their next game while Portugal will take on the winners from that pool.
