Portugal vs. Croatia Highlights: Portugal Survives, Will Face Spain In Round of 16
Updated: Jul 03, 2026 - 3:21 AM ET
Portugal advanced to the round of 16 after a dramatic 2-1 victory over Croatia at Toronto Stadium, booking a July 6 clash with Spain.
Ivan Perišić struck first to give Croatia the lead, but Cristiano Ronaldo quickly equalized after converting a penalty kick to become the oldest scorer in World Cup knockout history.
Just as extra time loomed, Gonçalo Ramos became the hero for Portugal by heading home a 94th-minute winner from a Rafael Leão cross. Croatia nearly snatched a dramatic equalizer deep in stoppage time when Joško Gvardiol found the back of the net, but VAR disallowed the strike after Mario Pašalić was ruled offside.
Portugal held on to extend Ronaldo's international campaign and likely end Luka Modrić's World Cup career.
