Mattia Zaccagni’s 98th-minute goal ensured a 1-1 draw for Italy against Croatia, helping the Azzurri into the Round of 16.

Italy will now face Switzerland in Berlin, a team that ended their 2022 World Cup hopes.

While Italy, needing just a point to advance, switched to a 3-5-2 formation.

Gianluigi Donnarumma played a huge role, saving Luka Modric’s penalty but conceding shortly after when Modric scored on the rebound.

Croatia had their chances, with Josko Gvardiol and Mario Pasalic in key roles.

Despite their efforts, they couldn’t hold on, and Zaccagni’s late effort dashed their dreams.
