The referee frustrates Portugal.
Details: The legendary 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo found the net in the Round of 32 World Cup clash against Croatia, but his goal didn't stand.
The iconic forward slotted the ball past the opposition goalkeeper, but after a VAR review, the referee ruled the play offside.
As a result, the goal was chalked off and the scoreline remained unchanged. For Portugal's 41-year-old captain, this could have been another historic strike at a World Cup, but the offside call denied him the chance to add to his already staggering tally, which is inching ever closer to the 1,000-goal milestone.
Reminder: Another record! Cristiano Ronaldo sets yet another World Cup milestone
