Mattia Zaccagni scored in the final minute of stoppage time as Italy broke Croatia’s hearts with a late 1-all equaliser that ensures the defending champions progress to the last 16 of Euro 2024.
Luka Modric had thought he had won it for Croatia to send them through as runners-up in Group B when he slammed a shot into the roof of the net early in the second half.
But Italy levelled in stoppage time when Zaccagni scored in the 98th minute to ensure they go through with group winners Spain.
It was a cruel blow for Croatia, who had been minutes away from progressing but two points is now unlikely to be enough to finish as one of the best third-placed teams.
The result means Italy will play Switzerland in the last 16 on Sunday at 4am.
