TRIn a dramatic World Cup round-of-32 match, Portugal defeated Croatia 2-1 thanks to a last-minute goal by Goncalo Ramos and a controversial VAR decision. Cristiano Ronaldo converted a penalty in the 68th minute to level the score, marking his first World Cup knockout-stage goal. Ramos sealed the win with a stoppage-time header, though Croatia believed they had equalized moments later, only for the goal to be disallowed due to an offside call involving a new tracking chip in the ball. Croatia's frustration boiled over as fans protested the decision, throwing objects onto the pitch. Portugal will now face Spain in the next round.
