Toronto FC release Cassius Mailula following mutual agreement

A tiny wave of motion wobbling along a screen brought Croatia players to their knees and sent Portugal through to the World Cup last 16 on Thursday night. The Snickometer or 'Snicko' as it is more widely known‚ is technology invented by an English computer scientist more familiar to cricket fans having been used since the 1990s and has never had a more high-profile or controversial moment. With Portugal leading 2-1 deep into stoppage time in Toronto‚ Croatia thought they'd fired in the most dramatic equaliser imaginable through Josko Gvardiol.

Luka Modric‚ Cristiano Ronaldo‚ and a World Cup instant classic with historic stakes and tension

LEWIS STEELE: Cristiano Ronaldo finally scored a World Cup knockout goal at the grand old age of 41 - but deputy Goncalo Ramos stole his thunder for Portugal. Boss Roberto Martinez has been hounded all tournament for his reluctance to drop or substitute veteran Ronaldo but he got his in-game moves spot on as his team overcame a gutsy and spirited Croatia side in Toronto. Ronaldo was not one of four substitutions in the 63rd minute and he repaid his manager's faith five minutes later to score a penalty which cancelled out Ivan Perisic's 53rd-minute opener.

Cifuentes returns as Toronto fail to trigger buy clause

England weren't the only team in Group L to win their World Cup opener after raising their game in the second half. Ghana‚ the next opponents for Thomas Tuchel's side in Boston on Tuesday‚ shook off a cautious start against Panama to win in Toronto last week with a dramatic 95th-minute goal from Caleb Yirenkyi. No wonder new coach Carlos Queiroz went onto the pitch at the end to celebrate victory in only his second game in charge‚ just 70 days after Sir Alex Ferguson's former No 2 at Manchester United replaced Otto Addo on a four-month contract.

GERMANY 2-1 IVORY COAST - MATT BARLOW: Deniz Undav flickered with promise without ever settling in the Premier League. Eight goals was not a bad return from his 30 appearances for Brighton in 2022/23‚ but he was gone after one season‚ returning to Germany where he has excelled since at Stuttgart. In Toronto‚ however‚ the 29-year-old made his case to be a World Cup centre forward‚ coming off the bench to score two goals with more than a hint of Gerd Muller about them.
