Portugal found a way through after Croatia struck first. Ivan Perišić put Croatia ahead in the 53rd minute, assisted by Josip Stanisic, but Cristiano Ronaldo’s 68th-minute penalty brought Portugal level before Gonçalo Ramos won it 2-1 in the 90th minute from Rafael Leão’s pass.
Portugal’s pressure showed in territory and volume. They had 60 percent possession, 15 shots and 9 corners, while Croatia had 40 percent possession, 13 shots and 5 corners. Croatia, though, were sharper with 6 shots on target to Portugal’s 3.
The match had several turning points beyond the goals. Cristiano Ronaldo had a VAR offside check in the 61st minute, and Croatia had late VAR involvement with Petar Sučić and Josko Gvardiol. Rúben Dias, Luka Modrić and Ivan Perišić were booked.
