One way to win for Croatia, Italy can settle for a draw - Favourites but indifferent Spain with Albania...
The 3rd matchday in Group 2 of Euro 2024 is completed tonight. Putting in a dominant performance against a very passive Italy, Spain celebrated a 1-0 victory, making it 2/2 and securing the top spot in Group 2 of Euro 2024! Favourites for second place, Italy play against Croatia who have so far performed below expectations and will hardly be able to damage the Italians tonight to continue in the tournament.
Below you can see all the match action in detail:
Turned the derby against Italy into a... monologue, celebrated the victory easier than the final 1-0 score suggests, made the absolute and secured the top spot in Group 2 of Euro 2024 for Spain! On the other hand, Albania's presence in this year's Euro is remarkable. They got a point against Croatia, which actually does them an injustice based on the overall picture of the match.
CROATIA-ITALY (22:00)
Whatever they turned the game around in a two-minute span (74'-76'), Croatia conceded the equalizer in 90'+5' against Albania and the 2-2 draw significantly reduced their chances of qualifying for the next stage of Euro 2024. To have any hope... they will have to beat the Italians tonight, who were also very scared against the Spaniards. They settled for a passive role throughout and only ended up losing 1-0 because they had a very big night for their goalkeeper and captain, Gigi Donarumma. So to ensure qualification they will have to at least not lose to Croatia.
