Stepping up to the penalty spot, Ronaldo fired a strike that echoed across history, officially drawing level with Messi's World Cup legacy. The eternal duel between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi has birthed yet another immortal chapter. In the wake of Portugal‘s breathless 2-1 conquest over Croatia in the Round of 32, a seismic milestone was reached. Stepping up to the penalty spot, Ronaldo fired a strike that echoed across history, officially drawing level with Messi’s World Cup legacy. The knockout clash in Toronto delivered everything expected from two experienced European sides. Croatia took the lead through Ivan Perisic, Portugal responded through Ronaldo from the penalty spot, and Goncalo Ramos headed home a dramatic stoppage-time winner to send Portugal into the Round of 16. Portugal endured a frustrating opening period despite creating promising situations around Croatia’s penalty area. Ronaldo came close on a couple of occasions, while Joao Cancelo repeatedly looked dangerous from the left, but neither side managed to break the deadlock before halftime. The match exploded into life after the interval when the Checkered Ones grew in confidence. Mateo Kovacic tested Diogo Costa before Perisic fired home to hand Croatia a valuable advantage and put the Selecao das Quinas under immediate pressure. Zlatko Dalic’s players nearly doubled their lead moments later as Costa produced another pair of important saves. Portugal, however, gradually regained control and found the breakthrough after Renato Veiga was brought down inside the penalty area. Ronaldo equals Messi with latest World Cup penalty achievement With Portugal needing a response, Cristiano Ronaldo calmly converted the resulting penalty in the 68th minute, keeping his composure under enormous pressure. Although he had earlier seen a well-taken finish ruled out for offside, the captain made no mistake from 12 yards. That successful penalty also saw Ronaldo equal Lionel Messi in one remarkable piece of World Cup history. Both superstars have now scored four penalties in FIFA World Cup matches (excluding penalty shootouts), placing them level among the tournament’s greatest penalty takers. 🚨BREAKING: Cristiano Ronaldo is now level with Lionel Messi for the most penalty goals at the FIFA World Cup, despite playing fewer games.😳 pic.twitter.com/sJIz22W9QI— Kalshi Sports (@KalshiSports) July 3, 2026 Only Harry Kane, with five successful World Cup penalties, currently sits ahead of both soccer icons. With the knockout stages still underway, that record could yet change before the tournament concludes. Portugal completes the comeback as Ronaldo adds more milestones Roberto Marinez and his players continued pushing after the equalizer and eventually found their reward deep into stoppage time. Substitute Goncalo Ramos timed his run perfectly to head home Rafael Leao’s cross and complete a memorable comeback victory. Croatia believed it had rescued extra time moments later when Josko Gvardiol found the net. However, following a lengthy VAR review, Mario Pasalic was judged to have been offside during the build-up, leaving Croatia heartbroken as Portugal celebrated qualification. Cristiano Ronaldo #7 of Portugal celebrates after scoring against Croatia. The penalty carried even greater significance beyond helping Portugal advance. It was Ronaldo’s first-ever goal in a FIFA World Cup knockout match, ending a statistic that had followed him throughout an extraordinary international career. Before the game, the Portuguese captain had gone through eight previous World Cup knockout appearances without finding the net. The strike also made Ronaldo the oldest player ever to score in a World Cup knockout-stage match, adding yet another record to an already remarkable résumé.
Ramos scored a late goal for Portugal to beat Croatia 2-1. Some matches had all the ingredients to become unforgettable at the 2026 World Cup, and the match between Portugal and Croatia was one of them, as two of Europe’s strongest national teams battled for a place in the next round, with a thrilling end in which 20 minutes of extra time were played in the second half. Portugal advanced to the Round of 16 after beating Croatia 2-1 with a late goal from Gonçalo Ramos. In the first half, Portugal were the dominant side, taking risks and creating chances mainly down the left. Neither team was precise before halftime, leaving the score level at 0-0. A much more epic second half followed, one that did not leave a minute to breathe, with even three disallowed goals for marginal calls. Ivan Perišić was the first to score before Portugal equalized through a penalty by Cristiano Ronaldo in a play where VAR intervened to award it. With Ronaldo already replaced by Ruben Neves, Ramos connected with a great header after a Leão cross in the 93rd minute to put Portugal ahead. The match was extended further due to added time for celebrations. In a moment that should remain in the books, Joško Gvardiol scored in the 112th before the referee was informed there was an offside due to a barely visible touch from a teammate before Mario Pasalic touched the ball, ending the match.

With both teams being highly competitive, fans are closely watching Harry Kane’s status, as his goal-scoring ability could be key for the opening match of Group L. England and Croatia face each other in their 2026 World Cup debut, aiming for the first win of Group L. As both national teams are highly dominant, the match is expected to be very competitive, with the midfield likely to be the main focus. Against this backdrop, head coach Thomas Tuchel could place all his hopes on Harry Kane’s goal-scoring power. For this reason, fans are closely watching the status of the 32-year-old striker. Harry Kane will start in England’s opening match vs Croatia. Being in peak physical condition, head coach Thomas Tuchel would look to take advantage of his strong form, as he comes from excelling at Bayern Munich. Beyond his goal-scoring power, the 32-year-old striker is key to the collective structure, as he is capable of creating chances for his teammates and enhancing their overall performance. Alongside Kane, Tuchel will opt for Noni Madueke and Anthony Gordon on the wings, looking to exploit Croatia’s defensive line. In addition, Jude Bellingham will start as the attacking midfielder, playing a key role in covering the attacking phase when Harry drops into midfield. Moreover, the duo of Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson is set to help cut off the opposition’s progression, with Nico O’Reilly potentially contributing from the left-back position. Led by Luka Modrić, Croatia will make their 2026 World Cup debut. Head coach Zlatko Dalić has managed to rebuild the squad, betting on players such as Martin Baturina and Petar Sučić. In addition, the wing-backs will look to take advantage of England’s high press, giving prominence to Josip Stanišić. Against the opponent’s offensive power, Joško Gvardiol and Luka Vušković are expected to be key, with their physical strength and solidity. Luka Modric of Croatia is challenged by Jordan Henderson of England during the 2018 FIFA World Cup. England confirmed lineup vs Croatia After finishing unbeaten in the UEFA qualifiers, England arrive as clear favorites to beat Croatia. Head coach Thomas Tuchel will rely on Harry Kane to boost the attacking output. In addition, the midfield will look to generate numerical superiority, with Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson. However, Gordon and Madueke on the wings would be key to breaking through the opposition’s defense and scoring goals. With this in mind, England will lineup as follows: Jordan Pickford; Reece James, John Stones, Ezri Konsa, Nico O’Reilly; Declan Rice, Elliot Anderson; Noni Madueke, Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon; Harry Kane. Croatia confirmed lineup vs England Croatia have managed to remain a highly competitive national team. Head coach Zlatko Dalić could keep Luka Modrić as a starter, in a more advanced role as a free attacking midfielder. Supporting the midfield, Mario Pasalic, Petar Sučić and Martin Baturina will emerge as key players. In addition, Joško Gvardiol and Luka Vušković are the leaders of the defense, looking to stop Harry Kane’s scoring threat and England’s attacking power. Considering this, Croatia will play as follows: Dominik Livakovic; Josip Šutalo, Luka Vušković, Josko Gvardiol; Josip Stanišić, Petar Sucic, Luka Modric, Ivan Perisic; Mario Pasalic, Martin Baturina, Petar Musa.
Croatia 2-1 SloveniaModric scores on what could be last game on home turfLuka Modric discarded his protective mask, accepted Zlatko Dalic’s congratulations and half-waved bashfully to a vigorously appreciative crowd. Had this really, finally, been his last official appearance on Croatian soil? The pre-match wisdom had certainly leaned that way, even though the home side’s ageless metronome has given little indication of his post-World Cup plans. It was a suitably romantic narrative to enliven a warm, woozy evening in the country’s far north and, as Modric returned to the bench shortly before the hour, he had already reminded any wandering England eyes of the gifts that still give scant sign of fading away.Until Mario Pasalic’s spectacular volley, thrashed in with the game’s final action, nobody else had done much to stir local emotions. Croatia depart for the US with questions lingering about form, fitness and formation but at least they were waved on their way with a 2-1 win over a punchy and slightly unfortunate Slovenia. Warm-up games offer a flawed, fragmented picture by their nature but Modric’s putative send-off offered cover for a palpable fallibility that has infected Dalic’s side. Continue reading...
