THE LEAD

By Outlook Sports Desk

Portugal Vs Croatia, FIFA World Cup 2026 Match Gallery: Portugal kept their FIFA World Cup 2026 dream alive with a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Croatia in a Round of 32 thriller at Toronto Stadium. Ivan Perisic gave the Vatreni the lead in the 53rd minute, but Cristiano Ronaldo responded from the penalty spot to level the contest before Roberto Martinez made the bold decision to replace his captain late in the game. That gamble paid off as Goncalo Ramos powered home Rafael Leao's cross in stoppage time to send A Selecao ahead. Croatia thought they had snatched a last-gasp equaliser through Josko Gvardiol, only for VAR to rule the goal out for offside after a lengthy review, triggering dramatic scenes inside the stadium. The victory sends Portugal into the Round of 16, where they will face Spain, while Croatia's campaign ends in heartbreak.
