Portugal Advances to Next Round After Dramatic VAR Call
In a dramatic turn of events at the ongoing World Cup, Croatia's hopes of advancing were dashed when a last-minute VAR decision ruled their equalizer offside against Portugal.

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo made headlines by scoring his first World Cup goal from a penalty, marking a significant milestone in his illustrious career.
