Portugal lock horns with South Korea more than 20 years since they were beaten by the same opponents to be dumped out of the 2002 World Cup.
This time, however, there is no risk of another early elimination for Portugal who beat Ghana and Uruguay to secure a place in the last 16.
South Korea drew 0-0 with Uruguay in their opener and slipped to a 3-2 defeat to Ghana on Monday. They must beat Portugal by two goals and hope for a draw in the Ghana versus Uruguay match, which takes place at the same time.
Keeping a clean sheet will be key for South Korea against Portugal, who have never lost a match at the World Cup when they have scored first.
Here's how you can watch all the action on TV and via stream online in Canada.

Bell Media offers streaming via the TSN app, TSN GO, and on the TSN website, TSN.ca. For Bell Media cable customers with TSN in their subscription package, they can sign in to the TSN GO app with their cable login and access content for non additional charge.
Fans can also purchase a subscription to the streaming service via either a monthly or yearly subscription, allowing fans without cable to access all of TSN's content, including the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
As CTV is also a Bell Media channel, the streaming process for games available on CTV is not different than those on TSN. However, more fans will be able to access streaming for these games. CTV is a terrestrial channel across Canada, meaning that all providers with CTV in their package will be able to access games broadcast on CTV.
Customers can download the CTV GO app or go to CTV.ca and log in with their television credentials to access content. All games available on CTV will be streamed on CTV GO and the CTV website.
