Mattia Zaccagni scored a 98th-minute equalizer as defending champion Italy secured a spot in the round of 16 at Euro 2024 on Monday with a 1-1 draw against Croatia. This result left Italy in second place in Group B with four points, while Croatia is in third place. Croatia's chances of advancing to the knockout stage now depend on whether their two points will be enough to qualify as one of the top four third-placed teams.

Italy's passage to the knockout stage will see the defending champions take on Switzerland on Saturday at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

Meanwhile, Spain topped Group B with a perfect three-match winning streak as they defeated Albania 1-0. The defeat left Albania at the bottom of the standings with just one point, resulting in their elimination. Spain had already secured a spot in the last-16 as group winners, so their coach, Luis de la Fuente, made 10 changes to the lineup that had started the previous game against reigning champions Italy.
