Portugal are through after a dramatic 2-1 win over Croatia in the FIFA World Cup 2026 knockout stage.
Croatia struck first through Ivan Perisic early in the second half, but Cristiano Ronaldo brought Portugal level from the penalty spot in the 68th minute. Just when the match looked set for extra time, Gonçalo Ramos stepped up with a stoppage-time winner to send Portugal into the next round.
It was more than just a victory for Portugal. The win also carried deep emotion as the squad paid tribute to the late Diogo Jota, keeping his memory alive on a special night for Portuguese football.
Portugal now move forward to face Spain, with the dream still alive.
