Ronaldo Ends Knockout Drought as Ramos Header Seals Portugal Win

Ronaldo Ends Knockout Drought as Ramos Header Seals Portugal Win

Portugal dug deep to overturn a one-goal deficit and claim a 2-1 victory over Croatia in their World Cup Round of 32 clash. Ivan Perišić struck first for Croatia with a clinical finish before Cristiano Ronaldo finally broke his knockout-stage duck from the penalty spot in the 68th minute. Substitute Gonçalo Ramos rose to head home the winner shortly after, and VAR ruled out a late Croatian equaliser. Portugal now advance to face Spain in the Round of 16 in Dallas.

Portugal's squad must tighten up at the back if they hope to reach the quarterfinals after conceding an early goal.
