TORONTO — Portugal is set to meet Croatia tonight in a Round of 32 match at the FIFA men’s World Cup.

It’s the final match of the international tournament to be held at Toronto Stadium.

The winner of the match will either take on Spain or Austria, who meet in a matinee earlier today.

If Portugal loses, it could likely be the last World Cup match for 41-year-old striker Cristiano Ronaldo and his legendary career.

Extreme weather could also play a factor.

A heat warning is in place for downtown Toronto, with the humidity at kickoff expected to make it feel like 42 C. The forecast is also calling for a strong thunderstorm.
