Croatia vs Italy

[edit]

With his goal, Croatia's Luka Modrić became the oldest goalscorer in the UEFA European Championship final tournament.[21] However, the draw caused Croatia to finish last among the four best-ranked third-placed teams, eliminating them. This was the first time Croatia had failed to advance to the knockout stage of the Euros since Euro 2012 and in any major international football tournament since the 2014 World Cup.[22]

Discipline

[edit]

Fair play points would have been used as a tiebreaker if the head-to-head and overall records of teams had been tied (and if a penalty shoot-out was not applicable as a tiebreaker). These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received by players and team officials in all group matches as follows:[2]

  • yellow card = 1 point
  • red card as a result of two yellow cards = 3 points
