It has to be Portugal, right? After all, how does a 7-0 win compare to a 2-1 win? Well, as we've seen before, gameplay tends to change quite significantly depending on the score. But we can compare how Portugal and Brazil did when the game was tied – 28 minutes for Portugal and 54 minutes for Brazil:
| /5400 | Passes | % of Passes | Shots |
| Portugal | 424 | 71.5 | 25.5 |
| Brazil | 652 | 86.3 | 18.6 |
The table above shows both passes and shots on a per-90-minutes basis. We can see that Brazil had more ball possession, but they weren't as successful at getting into scoring position. It's not clear that Portugal actually dominated North Korea more than Brazil did, regardless of the outcome.
