Though they had won their first match, they weren't at the top of their group. That spot belonged to Portugal, which won its first game with Egypt 3-1.
Joao Felix scored a brace in that match while Bruno slotted a penalty. On the other hand, Mohammad Salah scored the consolation goal for Egypt.
The other group matches were equally intense.
In their second match with Egypt, they again won by defeating Egypt by a score of 2-1. During that match, Hiro scored a goal and provided an assist.
Meanwhile, Yamada failed to contribute.
However, Portugal drew their match with Colombia.

"You still have the energy to look at your phone?" Naoto said panting heavily.
At the moment, they were in the gym.
