World Cup LIVE - Cristiano Ronaldo pays tribute to Diogo Jota after chaotic end to Croatia clash

World Cup LIVE - Cristiano Ronaldo pays tribute to Diogo Jota after chaotic end to Croatia clash The World Cup is continuing to conjure up all sorts of news and headlines, but one of the biggest may have just been dropped by a relative of Cristiano Ronaldo before he scored against Croatia Spain eased into the last 16 of the World Cup by sweeping Austria aside 3-0. Mikel Oyarzabal scored a brace and Tottenham defender Pedro Porro also found the net to overcome Ralf Rangnick's side. It was a classy and clinical display which will banish many people's memories of their 0-0 draw with Cape Verde in their first match. After Spain strode into the next round, a hint about Cristiano Ronaldo's next move was seemingly dropped by his sister Katia, before Portugal took on Croatia in the round of 32. Meanwhile, the British government has confirmed pubs will be allowed to stay open for England's World Cup clash against Mexico. Thomas Tuchel's side face the co-hosts in Mexico City in the round of 16 next Monday, with the clash kicking off at 1am. Pubs had already been given permission to stay open until 2am for England's knockout matches kicking off at 9pm and 10pm. However, under those original rules, they would not have been able to broadcast the entirety of the clash against the Mexicans while also remaining within the time period. They will now be allowed to open after Sir Keir Starmer relaxed licensing rules. This update comes shortly after Tuchel urged families to either allow their children to stay up and watch the game, or even miss school in its entirety. Portugal and Croatia had no shortage of drama as Cristiano Ronaldo finally got on the scoresheet in a knockout match. He equalised before Goncalo Ramos scored a stoppage-time winner and Croatia had a goal brutally ruled out for offside even later. Then it's a 4am start for Switzerland against Algeria, with Swiss star Granit Xhaka the subject of transfer speculation back in the Premier League as Chelsea chase a deal for the Sunderland star. Stay tuned as Mirror Football brings you all of the latest World Cup news and reaction. Key Events Switzerland are through and will take on Ghana or Colombia in the next round. If you're just waking up, Switzerland are currently leading Algeria but there was drama earlier on. Croatia thought they had an equaliser to force extra time against Portugal but an offside call from VAR denied Josko Gvariol. Croatia's fans did not take kindly and threw bottles on the pitch. Dan Ndoye doubles Switzerland's lead and now it's a long way back for Algeria. That's big in just the 47th minute. Strong sidefoot finish into the left corner through a number of bodies. Switzerland still lead and Algeria perhaps need to regroup slightly. Can't rule them out. "They're playing within themselves, Algeria, at the moment," said Efan Ekoku on BBC One. "It's an experienced outfit that knows there's a long way to go in this match, they don't need to be making to too end-to-end and too open at the moment." Cristiano Ronaldo has responded after it was suggested he could retire from the international stage following the World Cup. His mind is on the World Cup, unsurprisingly. Embolo grabs the goal to be put Switzerland ahead but that was all about Manzambi. What a run! Granit Xhaka and Riyad Mahrez lead the teams. Switzerland have not won a knockout game at the World Cup since 1938, and they might fancy their chances this time. Algeria have drawn four and lost five of nine World Cup matches against European opposition. Someone will have to end their run. Switzerland XI: Gregor Kobel; Denis Zakaria, Ricardo Rodríguez, Nico Elvedi, Manuel Akanji; Dan Ndoye, Remo Freuler, Granit Xhaka; Breel Embolo, Johan Manzambi, Rubén Vargas Algeria XI: Luca Zidane; Rafik Belghali, Rayan Aït-Nouri, Aïssa Mandi, Ramy Bensebaini; Ramiz Zerrouki, Nabil Bentaleb, Houssem Aouar; Riyad Mahrez, Ibrahim Maza, Farès Chaïbi "Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty against Croatia was his only touch inside the opposition box in his 81 minutes spent on the pitch," say Opta. Efficient but Portual might need more from him. Portugal will take on Spain in the next round of competition. But next this morning is Algeria vs Switzerland. Diogo Jota is never too far from Portuguese thoughts in this tournament and Cristiano Ronaldo has donned the late Liverpool star's shirt. But no shortage of drama. There are bottles on the pitch with Croatia in absolute disbelief. Ronaldo's international career lives on for another game. Croatia number 20 touches the ball. Final decision offside. Devastation for Croatia. He's offside. It comes off Portugal star Veiga but is the a touch from the Croatian first? JOSKO GVARDIOL EQUALISES. The 113th minute, extra time here we go. Extraordinary. Goncalo Ramos scores in stoppage time. He rises high to give Portugal an almost certain winner! This one is really tight. But Croatia have been denied again. Cristiano Ronaldo has been replaced by Ruben Neves now too. Cristiano Ronaldo has finally scored in the knockout stages of the World Cup. No mistake from the spot. We're level. Vlasic judged to have committed the foul. Ronaldo will step up. Croatia may have committed a foul in the box. Veiga is brought down. Ronaldo reckons it's a penalty. Ronaldo has the ball in the net but it's another offside flag. It's very tight but looks like he's just edged past the defender. Croatia are two up? No, the flag is quickly up for offside. The momentum is entirely with Croatia at the moment. Ivan Perisic scores the opening goal of the game. Croatia have turned it on in the second period. It's all square and despite some dominance from Portugal, Croatia are still in it. Will thoughts already be turning to extra time? Portugal have dominated with 70 per cent possession but have struggled to really challenge Croatia's goal. Croatia are making it tough for them. Portugal have started the stronger between the sides and seem to have the bit between their teeth. Could Ronaldo finally get his knockout goal? At 41 years and 147 days old, the veteran becomes the oldest player ever to feature in a World Cup knockout game, per Opta. Still goalless 35 minutes in. Both countries are out and the national anthems are coming to an end. Portugal vs Croatia is about to begin! Endrick has bonded with Brazilian icon Neymar by playing cards and sharing jokes with one another. Neymar is the golden boy of Brazil, a title Endrick looks set to inherit when he comes off age. Speaking to ESPN, the Real Madrid sensation opened up about his time spent with the Brazilian legend at the World Cup. He said: "I have a very good relationship with Ney. We joke around after training, play cards, and chat. "On our day off, we were together, we talked. It is very important to talk to people who are captains of the national team, like Marquinhos, Casemiro, and Alisson." He added: "Getting experience from them is a wonderful thing. They are people who understand football. Knowing more about this is very good. "And it is not being different with Ney. We sit side by side on the bench too. I will try to get the most out of it, because I still have a long time left in my career." Luka Modric will be the captain of Croatia for their World Cup round of 32 battle against Portugal. Do you think this will be his final match as a player?
