今天，我们来复盘一场荡气回肠、又饱含情怀的世界杯淘汰赛：葡萄牙在补时的最后阶段二比一绝杀克罗地亚，惊险闯入十六强。
Today, let's break down a stirring, deeply emotional World Cup knockout game: in the final stage of stoppage time, Portugal beat Croatia two to one with a last-gasp winner to scrape into the last 16.
这场比赛的分量，早已超越了胜负本身，因为它同时也是两位足坛传奇的谢幕舞台。
The weight of this game went far beyond the result itself, because it was also the curtain call for two soccer legends.
首先，让我们看看葡萄牙这支球队。
First, let's look at this Portugal team.
葡萄牙的旗帜，依然是那个响彻了二十多年的名字——C罗。
Portugal's banner is still that name that has rung out for over twenty years — Ronaldo.
作为世界足坛公认的传奇，C罗已经年过四十，这几乎可以肯定，是他职业生涯的最后一届世界杯了。
A universally acknowledged legend of world soccer, Ronaldo is now past forty, and this is almost certainly the final World Cup of his career.
正因如此，对他和整个葡萄牙来说，这场淘汰赛的每一分钟都无比沉重：赢，则梦想延续；输，则一切终结。
For that very reason, for him and for all of Portugal, every minute of this knockout game carried immense weight: win, and the dream lives on; lose, and it all ends.
而站在他对面的克罗地亚，同样有一位承载着一个时代的老英雄——中场大师莫德里奇。
And standing across from him, Croatia had an old hero who carries an era of his own — the midfield maestro Modrić.
两位老将在职业生涯的黄昏狭路相逢，为这场比赛蒙上了一层悲壮而浪漫的色彩。
Two veterans meeting on a narrow road at the twilight of their careers gave this game a tragic, romantic hue.
好，让我们顺着比赛的脉络往下走。
Alright, let's follow the thread of the game.
上半场，双方都显得格外谨慎，互相试探，比分定格在零比零。
In the first half, both sides looked especially cautious, feeling each other out, the score frozen at nil-nil.
然而易边之后，比赛的节奏骤然加快。
But after the change of ends, the tempo suddenly quickened.
第五十三分钟，克罗地亚率先打破僵局，佩里西奇在门前抓住机会，一击建功，帮助球队取得一比零的领先。
In the fifty-third minute, Croatia broke the deadlock first: Perisic seized a chance in front of goal and struck, giving his team a one to zero lead.
落后的葡萄牙并没有自乱阵脚，反而加强了攻势，而机会，也很快降临。
A trailing Portugal didn't fall into disarray; instead they stepped up the attack, and a chance soon arrived.
第六十八分钟，克罗地亚球员在禁区内的一次犯规，被裁判果断判罚点球。
In the sixty-eighth minute, a foul by a Croatia player in the box was decisively ruled a penalty by the referee.
站上十二码的，正是C罗。
Stepping up to the spot was none other than Ronaldo.
面对全世界的目光，他没有丝毫犹豫，一蹴而就，皮球稳稳入网，一比一！
Facing the eyes of the whole world, he showed not a flicker of hesitation, did it in one go, and the ball nestled coolly into the net — one to one!
一个不可思议的数据是：这竟然是C罗征战六届世界杯以来，打进的第一个淘汰赛阶段进球。
An incredible stat: this was, remarkably, Ronaldo's first knockout-stage goal across six World Cups.
那一刻，整座球场都在为这位不老的传奇而沸腾。
In that moment, the whole stadium erupted for this ageless legend.
比分被扳平之后，双方彻底放开，你来我往，比赛进入了白热化的阶段。
With the score level, both sides opened up completely, trading blows, the game reaching fever pitch.
就在几乎所有人都开始为加时赛做准备时，最富戏剧性的一幕，在补时阶段上演了。
Just as nearly everyone was preparing for extra time, the most dramatic moment of all played out in stoppage time.
第九十四分钟，莱昂从边路送出一记精准的传中，替补登场的年轻前锋拉莫斯高高跃起，力压对手，用一记势大力沉的头球，帮助葡萄牙在最后一刻二比一完成反超。
In the ninety-fourth minute, Leão delivered a pinpoint cross from the flank, and young substitute forward Ramos rose high above his marker to power in a header, putting Portugal ahead two to one at the very last moment.
老将点球扳平，新星头球绝杀，这样的剧本，堪称完美。
The veteran leveling from the spot, the young star heading in the winner — a script like that is close to perfect.
然而，克罗地亚人并不愿意就此谢幕。
Yet the Croatians were not willing to bow out just like that.
在比赛真正的最后一刻，他们也把球送进了葡萄牙的球门，全场一度以为比分被扳平，即将拖入加时。
In the truly final moment, they too put the ball into Portugal's net, and the whole stadium briefly thought it was level and heading to extra time.
但经过视频回放的反复确认，裁判认定进攻方在进球前已经越位，这粒会改变命运的进球，被无情地取消了。
But after repeated video review, the referee ruled the attacker had been offside before the goal, and that fate-changing strike was mercilessly chalked off.
就这样，在经历了过山车般的结尾之后，葡萄牙惊险地守住了这来之不易的胜利。
And so, after a roller-coaster ending, Portugal held on to a hard-won victory.
那么，这场比赛究竟该如何评判？
So, how exactly should this game be judged?
对葡萄牙和C罗而言，这是一场意义非凡、也充满幸运的胜利。
For Portugal and Ronaldo, this is a hugely significant, and also fortunate, win.
他们赢得并不轻松，但真正的强者，总能在关键时刻抓住那一丝机会。
They didn't win easily, but true greats always seize that sliver of a chance at the crucial moment.
老将坐镇军心，新星挺身而出，这样的葡萄牙，依然有着冲击更高目标的底气。
With the veteran steadying the ranks and the young star stepping up, this Portugal still has the belief to aim for higher goals.
当然，如此惊险的过程也是一记警钟：想要走得更远，他们必须踢得更稳。
Of course, so nervy a passage is also an alarm bell: to go further, they must play more solidly.
而对克罗地亚来说，这场失利，残忍得令人心碎。
And for Croatia, this defeat is heartbreakingly cruel.
他们拼尽了全力，几度将强大的葡萄牙逼入绝境，却最终倒在了命运和一次越位判罚之下。
They gave everything, repeatedly pushing a strong Portugal to the brink, only to fall in the end to fate and an offside call.
更让人动容的是，这也是传奇巨星莫德里奇的最后一届世界杯。
More moving still, this was also legendary star Modrić's final World Cup.
这位为国征战了无数个年头的老兵，最终以这样一种遗憾的方式，向他深爱的绿茵场挥手告别。
This old soldier, who fought for his country for countless years, in the end waved goodbye to the pitch he loves so dearly in such a rueful way.
而更耐人寻味的是，为葡萄牙打进制胜球的，是年轻的拉莫斯。
And more thought-provoking still: the man who scored Portugal's winner was the young Ramos.
当老将用点球稳住军心，新星在最后一刻完成致命一击，这仿佛是一种无声的传承——一个时代还未落幕，下一个时代已在悄然接棒。
As the veteran steadied the ranks from the spot and the young star delivered the fatal blow at the last moment, it felt like a silent passing of the torch — one era has not yet ended, and the next is already quietly taking over.
绿茵场就是如此残酷而深情：有人的梦想得以延续，也有人的传奇就此落幕。
The pitch is this cruel and this tender: some see their dream live on, while others see their legend fall.
这就是葡萄牙二比一克罗地亚，一场属于传奇、属于坚持、也属于告别的比赛。
That's Portugal two to one Croatia, a game belonging to legends, to perseverance, and to farewells.
我们下一场再会。
See you next match.
比赛后从头到尾分析一遍。今天我们来复盘这场比赛。
演出结束时谢幕，比喻告别舞台。这是两位传奇的谢幕之战。
成语。对手在关键处相遇。两位老将在职业生涯的黄昏狭路相逢。
比分打不开、双方僵持。第五十三分钟，克罗地亚率先打破僵局。
进攻球员在传球瞬间站得比防守球员更靠近球门，属于犯规。裁判认定进攻方越位在先。
把精神、责任传给下一代。老将与新星之间仿佛是一种无声的传承。
结束、告一段落。有人的传奇就此落幕。
