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

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).

Ferran Torres on target for a much-changed La Roja.

Lorenzo Pellegrini flashes an ambitious 15-yard header well wide of the near post from Dimarco's left-wing cross.

Donnarumma (25 years and 120 days) is now the youngest goalkeeper to reach the 10-match mark at the Euros.

This is Croatia’s fifth European Championship showdown with the current champions, with each game coming in the group stages.

Vatreni defeated Denmark 3-0 in 1996, drew 2-2 with France in 2004, lost 1-0 against Spain in 2012, before beating the Spaniards 2-1 in 2016.

But will Croatia have wiped those grins off Italian faces come full time?

Gianluigi Donnarumma springs to his right to push away Sucic's delicious 25-yard curler.

Croatia have had most of the ball in the early sparring.

This will be their 10th meeting with five of the previous matches finishing all square. Croatia have secured three wins with Italy managing just one.

The last three encounters have ended in draws. 

Tonight’s official is Danny Makkelie from Netherlands. His compatriot Rob Dieperink heads up VAR. 

Croatia get us underway.

The countdown is on to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

It is sure to be full of drama as a host of the biggest names in sport compete for glory in the French capital, across sports as diverse as athletics, swimming, tennis, cycling and even, for the first time, breaking.

"Fear is a word that I don't like to use when we are talking about football. Fear is for things more important than football. We watched Croatia's game against Spain and they created plenty of chances, even though they lost.

"We have a lot of respect for them, they have players who played more than 80 games together in the national team."

"There are a few older players, but what's important is how we feel, and we feel good. We haven't shown our true colours in the first two matches, but we can do that tomorrow. We are ready and focused on Italy, and we are not concerned about outside noise. Everyone has the right to their opinion. For us, it is an honour to play for Croatia."

The holders have switched to a 3-5-2 system with Mateo Retegui and Giacomo Raspadori coming into the attack.

Croatia have made four changes from the draw with Albania. Stanisic, Pongracic, Sucic and Pasalic all get the nod.

"In Russia (2018 World Cup), we didn't concede in the group stage.

“In Qatar (2022 World Cup), only once. Here we've already let in five. Every dangerous attack ends up in our net.  We need to change our approach and fix it before facing Italy. We have to win – if not, we're going home."
