Portugal dramatically beats Croatia with Croats' personal misfortune in the 15th minute of added time
In the 1/8 finals on Monday, Portugal will play Spain.
The first half was quite boring. Croatia withstood 15 minutes of Portuguese pressure, and then the game became even.
But from the start of the second half, the heat began: Croatia immediately started attacking, two or three attacks, and in the next, 37-year-old Ivan Perišić opened the scoring.
A few minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo equalized, but the linesman waved his flag — offside. It seemed CR was not offside (it looked that way from the replay).
And a few minutes later, during a corner kick, Vlašić fouled a Portuguese player in his penalty area.
The referee went to check VAR — penalty. Cristiano Ronaldo equalizes. This is his third goal in the tournament.
And in the 4th minute of added time, Gonçalo Ramos seemed to seal the deal — 2:1.
However, 20 minutes were added to the match, the Croats rushed to attack after the goal against them, and in the 15th minute of added time, Joško Gvardiol equalized. VAR again: it turns out Matanović touched the ball with his hand, the goal was disallowed. A tragedy for the Croats.
