Defending champions Italy book last 16 spot with a 1-1 draw against croatia in UEFA Euro cup
Mattia Zaccagni curled home a 98th-minute equaliser as defending champion Italy booked a last-16 spot at Euro 2024 on Monday with a 1-1 draw against Croatia, whose tournament hopes were left hanging by a thread.
Luka Modric gave Croatia a 55th-minute lead, moments after missing a penalty, and that looked like sending it through before late substitute Zaccagni bent a stunning finish past the despairing dive of Dominik Livakovic into the far corner.
The result left Italy second in Group B on four points, with Croatia third but now playing an anxious waiting game to see whether two points will be enough to take it through to the knockout stage as one of the best four third-placed sides.
