THIS WAS ANOTHER EXCITING MATCH LAST NIGHT BETWEEN PORTUGAL VS CROATIA!  PORTUGAL MADE 542 PASSES, WITH A 92% PASS ACCURACY, HAD 62% POSSESSION, AND 15 SHOTS, WITH 3 ON-TARGET, INCLUDING A STUNNER FROM CRISTIANO RONALDO FROM A PENALTY AT 68 MINS., AND ANOTHER FROM GONCALO RAMOS AT 90 +4 MINS!  CROATIA MADE 384 PASSES, WITH AN 85% PASS ACCURACY, AND HAD 13 SHOTS, WITH 7 ON-TARGET, INCLUDING A CRACKER FROM IVAN PERISIC AT 53 MINS. CROATIA THOUGHT THEY HAD EQUALISED IN STOPPAGE TIME AT 103 MINS., WHEN JOSKO GVARDIOL THOUGHT HE HAD SCORED BUT IT WAS RULED OUT BECAUSE OF A SLIGHT TOUCH ON THE CROSS BEFORE IT REACHED AN OFFSIDE MARIO PASALIC WHO ASSISTED GVARDIOL.  (FIFA HAVE TODAY CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS THE CORRECT DECISION.) PORTUGAL NOW PROGRESS INTO THE LAST 16!
