GolVolt Recap

Portugal snatched a 2-1 Round of 32 victory over Croatia in Toronto, flipping a second-half deficit into a stoppage-time triumph. Ivan Perišić opened the scoring in the 53rd minute, punishing a Portuguese side carrying a 17th-minute Rúben Dias booking. But Croatian discipline cracked. Luka Modrić took a 59th-minute yellow, and Cristiano Ronaldo hammered home a 68th-minute penalty equalizer. Gonçalo Ramos then buried the decisive 94th-minute strike. A 98th-minute yellow card for Perišić served as the final, frustrated act of Croatia’s tournament exit.
