Italy 1-1 Croatia: UEFA Euro 2024 Group B result as Mattia Zaccagni hits a late, late equaliser to secure second spot after Luka Modric put Vatreni ahead in Leipzig

Budimir on.

Frattesi on.

Italy get us back underway.

The Premier League fixtures for the 2024/25 season have been announced and there are some tasty encounters on the agenda.

First up on TNT Sports will be newly-promoted Ipswich hosting Liverpool at Portman Road on Saturday, August 17.  

It’s a 12.30 BST kick off that will see new boss Arne Slot take charge of Liverpool in the English top-flight for the very first time in an intriguing match-up against Kieran McKenna's Tractor Boys.

------------------------------------------

Italy 0-0 Croatia.

One minute added.

We've had one stunning save apiece although Italy have been the better side overall and a point would suit them.

Vatreni will surely look to dictate more following the break. As it stands, they are unlikely to make it through as a best third-place team.

Pellegrini shows lovely feet on the left edge of the area before fizzing in a low shot that Livakovic does well to get down low and hang on to.

Donnarumma manages to paw away a dangerous cut back from Modric near the right byline and the rebound won't quite fall for a Croatia shirt.

Croatia made a strong start but Italy have just had a 15-20 minute spell that saw them dictate the tempo and create a couple of big openings.

Bastoni is left free to meet a sublime ball from Barella but Dominik Livakovic is there to brilliantly push his header to safety.

Sucic booked for hooking down Pellegrini as the Italian looked to build some momentum in the centre of the pitch.

Retegui sees a 15-yard shot well blocked after Pellegrini's clever run and volleyed cross from the right side of the area found the front man in space in a central position.

Mateo Retegui guides a header just wide of the far post from Calafiori's superb left-wing cross.

Italy have only lost one of their nine final group games since the stage was introduced in 1980. That loss was a 1-0 reversal v Rep Ireland in 2016 (W6, D2).
