Episode Details

Portugal stunned Croatia with a dramatic 2-1 win, sealing their place in the knockout rounds with a late header from substitute Gonçalo Ramos—just as Croatia thought they’d equalized, only for VAR to rule offside. After Croatia took the lead in the 53rd, Ronaldo leveled it with a penalty in the 68th, sparking a tense, back-and-forth battle. A crucial midfield reshuffle by coach Martinez around the 60-minute mark injected fresh energy, turning the tide. Goalkeeper Diogo Costa and left-back Nuno Mendes stood out with vital contributions, while Ronaldo’s penalty and Ramos’s winner showcased Portugal’s depth. Next up: a high-stakes rematch against Spain in the round of 16, where Portugal must rediscover midfield rhythm to challenge a formidable opponent.
