Portugal Edge Croatia 2-1 to Reach World Cup Round of 16
Final: Portugal 2-1 Croatia
Portugal complete a thrilling comeback to defeat Croatia 2-1 and book their place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16.
After Ivan Perišić gave Croatia the lead early in the second half, Portugal fought back through Cristiano Ronaldo’s penalty before Gonçalo Ramos headed home a dramatic stoppage-time winner from Rafael Leão’s cross.
Croatia thought they had forced extra time with a last-gasp equaliser, but the goal was ruled out for offside, allowing Portugal to hold on for a memorable victory. Portugal will now face Spain in a blockbuster Round of 16 clash.
