Portugal defeat Croatia in their World Cup knockout match after a late VAR incident denies Croatia an equaliser. During stoppage time in Toronto, Josko Gvardiol scores what would have been an equalising goal, but the referee reviews the decision using VAR and overturns it for offside. The ruling prevents Croatia from drawing level after an intense game. Earlier, Croatia fall behind when Ivan Perišić opens the scoring, and Cristiano Ronaldo later levels the match from the penalty spot. Portugal then take the lead again through Gonçalo Ramos, who scores the winner. The late offside call triggers immediate reactions from Croatia’s players and supporters, with protests reported after the goal is ruled out. Portugal advance to the last 16 as a result of the final score, while Croatia’s tournament ends following the defeat. All accounts focus on the same decisive moment: VAR review overturns Gvardiol’s last-minute goal for offside.
