What happened: Substitute Gonçalo Ramos rose to head Portugal 2-1 ahead of Croatia in the 94th minute, meeting a cross from Rafael Leão. Cristiano Ronaldo had drawn Portugal level from the penalty spot in the 68th minute, after Renato Veiga was fouled by Marin Pongračić inside the box, cancelling out Ivan Perišić's second-half opener. A stoppage-time Croatia equalizer from Joško Gvardiol has been ruled out for offside after a VAR review flagged a touch by Igor Matanović in the buildup.
