I only saw the last 15 minutes of this game and in those 15 minutes Croatia were the better and more pressing team. I heard though that Italy were by far the better side in the first half, so I guess a 1 – 1 scoreline is a fair result for both teams. If Spain win their game against Ireland later tonight, Italy will also have to win their final game against that same Ireland to progress. [35 photos total]
