Portugal edge Croatia in extra time with Ramos winner

Portugal 2–1 Croatia, Spain await Monday

Your team is through to the round of 16. Portugal beat Croatia 2–1 in a wild match that went to extra time, decided by Gonçalo Ramos in the 120th minute (1) (4). Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring in regulation, and Ivan Perišić equalised for Croatia. Spain are next, on Monday (2) (5).

Croatian equaliser disallowed by chip in the ball

Joško Gvardiol thought he had scored in extra time. The referee went to VAR and disallowed it, apparently because a sensor chip in the ball detected an earlier offside (3) (11). Croatia manager Zlatko Dalić was furious: "It kills everything in you" (3). Luka Modric also criticised the referee after the match, saying decisions went against his side (14) (15).

"We want to win the World Cup for him"

The match fell on the first anniversary of Diogo Jota's death. Roberto Martínez was direct after the win: "We want to win the World Cup for him" (1) (8). Ronaldo was visibly emotional. He called it "an incredible day, in many ways" (7).

Ronaldo subbed off, the pundits noticed

Martínez took Ronaldo off during the match. French pundit Kevin Diaz praised the decision as a symbolic moment for this Portugal side: "C'est le moment de cette Coupe du monde pour le Portugal" (16).

Ronaldo's records keep stacking

Ronaldo, now 41, extended his world record for international appearances. Modric, 40, exited what may be his fifth and final World Cup (9).
