In addition, none of them dared to lose, and defeat meant that they could be eliminated.

After 45 minutes of fighting, neither Spain nor Croatia could break through each other's goals and drew 0-0!

The Italian fans at the Poznan Municipal Stadium cheered on their team while keeping an eye on the score at the other stadium, hoping for a split between Spain and Croatia.

Only then will they be able to secure qualification by taking Ireland.

To finish the game with such a scoreline, it is Italy that will be eliminated.

In the forty-fifth minute of the second half, the Poznan Municipal Stadium ushered in the climax: Italy got a corner kick opportunity, Pirlo sent the corner kick into the Irish penalty area, and Baroqueli, who was ambushed in the penalty area, snuggled up to the Irish defender with his back to the goal, a shocking barb!

The score became 2-0!

The Italians themselves took control of their own destiny, the Poznan Municipal Stadium roared with joy and the Italian fans went crazy!

With this scoreline, they will be able to beat Croatia in second place in the group with the advantage of goals scored!

At the moment, the result of the match between Spain and Croatia can hardly affect their qualification!

Barring these two teams to a high score in stoppage time and end the game in a draw, Croatia will be able to beat Italy on goals and progress to the knockout rounds.

The news reached the PGE Arena in Gdansk and changed the mentality of Croatia, who launched a ferocious attack on Spain.

In the second minute of stoppage time, Spain made a successful steal in midfield and immediately launched a quick counter-attack.

Cesc Fabregas picked up a pass in front of the penalty area, and Iniesta, who was successful in the anti-offside position, burst into the left rib of the penalty area and sent a cross, and Navas pushed the empty goal!

The Croatian fans at the scene shed tears of pain.

In the third minute of stoppage time, Croatia won a corner kick, goalkeeper Pletticosa also rushed to the Spanish penalty area, and after the corner kick, the referee blew for a foul on the attacker.

Then, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!

Spain and Italy join hands to qualify, Croatia is unfortunately out!

Step by step, the European Championship is showing the world their cruel side.

Gianluigi Buffon thanked Spain after the game for not playing with Croatia: "We've been relaxed for the last four days, the only thing we focused on was our own game.

I've always been convinced that Spain will win and we have to thank them a little bit here.

I was relaxed and I knew Spain would keep the ball in control until the end of the game. That's not true? Oh, that's lucky, thankfully I didn't watch it.

Like I said, four years ago, the Netherlands beat Romania to help us qualify, and I think even a few years after I retire I will remember that, we have to remember. ”

Italy's vice-captain Andrea Pirlo admitted after the game that he had a terrible performance: "It was one of my worst individual performances, but the most important thing was that the team kept going.

It was an inspiring night and we reached the quarter-finals.

To be honest, we did get a little anxious in the last few minutes after hearing about Spain's goal and luckily everything went well.

I don't think it matters who we play in the quarter-finals because we all know that it's going to be a tough game and we have to show strong pasta and try to win in every way we can. ”

Italy's Milan Sports Newspaper commented: There was the Netherlands in the past, and then Spain, they all showed the world sportsmanship, this is the real football!

With these two games, this European Cup can be said to be a successful European Cup!

……

With the end of Group C, the eyes turned to Group D.

The situation in Group D is the same as in Group C, which is very complicated, with England, France, and Ukraine all having a chance.

Tentatively rounding out the top two of the group are France and England, both with one win and one draw, with France topping the group on goal difference.

Hosts Ukraine also have a chance, having won one and lost one, and will be assured of qualification if they win a do-or-die match against England.

The best of the game is France, who face Sweden in the final round, and a draw will ensure their qualification.

Of course, if they suffer a surprise defeat at the feet of Sweden, the situation will be complicated, and it could end up being better than goal difference and goals scored.

In the final analysis, it is the direct dialogue between England and the host Ukraine, which is the focus of this round.

Whoever wins will be able to beat the opponent to advance to the knockout round.
