00:06The first whistle, the last dance for someone at a World Cup.
00:14100 plus cap group, Leal now is going to stretch them and he's going to cross and that's a great
00:20save but on the follow-up it's blocked and Bruno Fernandes is very very close
00:26to forcing a way through to Portugal only to be denied by Lavakovic and then that Croatian backline.
00:46And a yellow card.
00:51Ruben Diaz is protesting his innocence but he goes into the book
00:56by a referee who does have a reputation for being
00:59basically standing on the line and here Neto and the other one to open them up more.
01:06Cancelo trying to open them up now, good ball into the box all the way through and once again somehow.
01:16It's him to try and keep it alive to the edge of the box for Jao Neves then.
01:21Mendes again.
01:24And the cross, that's some vigor behind it and so did the second one and it's behind for another corner.
01:33And the whole sequence starts with a Bruno Fernandes run into the box from midfield.
01:39This is what's going to help them.
01:46And with that the referee blows his whistle it's half time in the round of 32.
01:52The Modric-Ronaldo showdown yields no goals.
02:02The second half underway in Toronto on a beautiful evening in Ontario.
02:10They've opted not to shoot.
02:11Matanovic now trying to battle his way through.
02:14Oh they picked it up, it's Kovacic!
02:16It's the side netting.
02:26Wow, it got a little bit messy there in the middle.
02:29And all of a sudden Kovacic picks up the loose ball and goes right through the defenders.
02:37Here's Matanovic, Kovacic, Stanisic is outside him, Perisic is at the back post.
02:45Stanisic for the cross, it's going to come to Perisic, and Croatia have scored!
03:09All the talk of the great veterans in their World Cup squad, you don't forget this guy!
03:18Ivan Perisic breaking the deadlock.
03:22Ronaldo's Portugal behind in the round of 32.
03:29And this play started with a throw-in on the opposite side of the field where the
03:33Portuguese players are not connected.
03:35They're not reacting.
03:37And here the ball goes to Stanisic.
03:39He's onside.
03:41And now Sucic, Matanovic, now they're spreading it wide and the chase is on for Vlasic.
03:52Sucic again on Vlasic, flag stayed down and he can cross it and they've got another one!
03:57And now the flag has gone up!
04:03Pitbull came up!
04:09Matanovic was there to connect the cross.
04:19Tanovic was there to connect the cross.
04:28what a strike that was from Rafael Leal, Hartlovakovic beaten and that time the
04:37cross a little bit more comfortable. Matanovic
04:48and Smodric into the book lining up ready to come into the game as
04:51substitutes it's taking a while for them to sort it out as his Ronaldo trying to
04:56get on the end of this he's there and he clipped it past the keeper but the flag
05:00goes up on the far side the celebrations will be curtailed for now
05:16and that has to be close but what a control from Ronaldo I that's very well
05:23that is very close. Mendes and in swinger all the way through Renato Vega didn't
05:30quite get there now at the back post as well another excellent corner from Nuno
05:42Mendes and it looks like just a touch off Leal that sent it behind yeah he got a
05:48little bit surprised by this one looks like a little bit of a hold there he's going to have a
05:55look
06:12see he pulls the arms away but hasn't done enough by that point to commit the foul he's been asked
06:19to look at it they're recommending
06:22here is the decision huge moment now in this round of 32 clash
06:26Croatia player number 13 holds his opponent with two arms against the goalkeeper who has
06:34excelled from penalties in Lylakovic Ronaldo
06:391-1 in Toronto and Cristiano Ronaldo can get them to cry once more
07:05look at this from Kovacic and the strike he hits the post
07:10Bautiz out to Vlasic and sent back to Kovacic again and tipped over
07:19and look at them break that line and they're through with Suchic
07:24Croatia back in front but the celebration short-lived because the offside flag is up
07:43it's another really close call it's very close and what a great ball there
07:52now again there's a little bit of space to run into goes for the early ball
07:57Portugal and the header is in
07:59the super sub does it again
08:24Portugal may well have given Ronaldo one more
08:27outing at the FIFA World Cup
08:30they could have just ended the career of Luka Modric as Croatian hearts are broken in stoppage time in Toronto
08:41Parasic who weighs them on as he takes possession
08:44here come Croatia one last cross into the hands of Costa
08:51five in the middle
08:52five in the middle
08:52five in the middle
08:53here's the ball in
08:54and it falls in the back
08:55and it's got into the net
08:56it's an equaliser
08:58with surely the last kick of the game
09:07this is as wild as you can get
09:17they still have hope
09:21the hope might just be about to turn to heartbreak there's the snicker on the
09:26bottom there it's going to look at the touches so there is the clear touch from matanovic
09:37croatia player number 20 touched the ball and headed to the goal scorer final decision offside
09:47the referee is letting them play but now it's over
