Portugal came from behind to defeat Croatia 2–1 in the round of 32 at the 2026 World Cup, with all-time great Cristiano Ronaldo setting another remarkable record in the process.
When the night was getting increasingly dark for Portugal, Ronaldo appeared and confidently dispatched a penalty to level the scoring in the 68th minute. At 41 years and 146 days old, Ronaldo became the oldest player in history to score in the knockout rounds of the World Cup—also becoming the oldest player to feature in the kockout stage.
