90 minutes played Saturday

Pongracic registered one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 win over Ghana.

Analysis: Pongracic delivered a solid outing on Saturday, winning three tackles and recording seven clearances in Croatia's 2-1 victory over Ghana. After only entering the lineup in the second group‑stage match against Panama, he has now started the last two fixtures and shown steady defensive presence. Across those appearances, he has maintained a 91 percent pass accuracy, produced 18 clearances, and won four tackles. Given Portugal's strong attacking threat, he remains a highly likely starter at center back for Thursday's Round of 32 matchup.
