00:00Croatia just needed to avoid defeat against Portugal to progress to the quarterfinals of
00:04the Nations League, but fell behind thanks to a visionary Vitinha pass. Portugal score!
00:13Some finish that from João Felix! Andrej Kramaric was a lick of paint away from levelling the scores.
00:20It's good, it's Claudio, it's Kramaric! Off the post! Desperately unlucky!
00:27And a brilliant first-time pass from Felix played in Rafael Leão on the stroke of half-time.
00:34Well he has been a menace in this opening 45.
00:38But the half-time introduction of Kristjan Jakic did the trick as he teed up the equaliser.
00:45This time it's in from Guardiola!
00:50That's what they've been looking for!
00:52Croatia should have trailed again, only to be bailed out by some brave goalkeeping from
00:57Dominic Lovacovic. But not to be outdone, Jose Sarr came up with a miraculous fingertip stop
01:09at the other end. Portugal seemed to be leading a charmed existence as Croatia rattled the
01:22woodwork for a third time in the match. But the one-all draw means both nations advance.
