Rome, 3 July (LaPresse) – Portugal staged a comeback to beat Croatia 2-1 and advance to the last 16. Ivan Perisic put Croatia ahead, before Cristiano Ronaldo equalised from the penalty spot and, in stoppage time, Goncalo Ramos scored the winner to secure victory for Portugal, who will face Spain in the next round. A goal by Cristiano Ronaldo and one by Sucic were ruled out for offside. There was then controversy over a potential 2–2 equaliser scored in the 103rd minute by Gvardiol, which was disallowed due to an alleged touch by Matanovic that would have made the move offside.
