FULL-TIME: PORTUGAL 2–1 CROATIA.

Croatia's travelling fans haven't taken that decision at all well – and who can blame them? But their anger has led to bottles being thrown onto the pitch, delaying the restart and the final few seconds of what has been a frankly extraordinary match.

VAR
NO GOAL FOR CROATIA!!! And that VAR decision will send them packing from this World Cup!!! Pasalic is indeed offside, but only from Matanovic's faint flick-on in the box. From Perisic's initial ball, the substitute's positioning is absolutely fine, but VAR replays and a second look from the referee both confirm that the striker did indeed get the slightest of touches on the cross. That ultimately rules Pasalic offside, meaning Gvardiol's goal is wiped out, and we're back to Portugal leading 2–1 with virtually no time left to play!
