Italy secured a dramatic 1-1 draw with Croatia in their final Euro 2024 Group B match, thanks to Mattia Zaccagni's stoppage-time goal. Luka Modrić had given Croatia the lead in the 55th minute, rebounding from a missed penalty. As the match neared its end, Italy's persistence paid off when Zaccagni scored in the 98th minute, breaking Croatian hearts and ensuring Italy's progression to the last 16. Croatia, left with just two points, faces a bleak chance of advancing as one of the best third-placed teams, casting uncertainty over Modrić's international future.
