World Cup 2026 Round of 32 – Ronaldo Outlasts Modrić in a Toronto Classic as the Last 16 Nears Completion

The Round of 32 is almost done, and it saved one of its greatest nights for last. Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup rolls on after a stoppage-time classic against Croatia, while Spain and Switzerland eased through with clean sheets.

Here's your full catch-up plus the final knockout ties still to play — with odds straight from Chipstars.

Yesterday's & Today's Results

Portugal 2-1 Croatia (Round of 32) — An instant classic in Toronto. Ivan Perisic put Croatia ahead in the 53rd minute, Ronaldo levelled from the penalty spot on 68, and substitute Gonçalo Ramos headed a dramatic winner deep in stoppage time. Croatia had a last-gasp equaliser ruled out by VAR, ending Luka Modrić's World Cup story as Ronaldo's continues.

Spain 3-0 Austria (Round of 32) — La Roja delivered exactly as the odds suggested, cruising past Austria with a comfortable three-goal margin to book their place in the last 16.

Switzerland 2-0 Algeria (Round of 32) — The Swiss controlled the tie from start to finish, seeing off Algeria without conceding to march through.

Australia vs Egypt — Egypt the favourites at 2.43, Australia at 3.8, the draw at 2.9. Over 2 goals at 2.04, Under at 1.85. A tight one to close out the day's Round of 32 action.

Coming Up — The Final Round of 32 Ties

Where Things Stand

The Round of 16 is nearly set.

Switzerland are through too and await their opponent, with Australia/Egypt, Argentina/Cabo Verde and Colombia/Ghana still to fill the remaining spots.
