Croatia v Italy LIVE: Score and updates from pivotal Euro 2024 clash plus Spain v Albania latest

Sucic is the first player to be booked as he brings down Pellegrini.

Italy win another corner as Pellegrini gets in behind the defence and cuts back a lovely volleyed cross. but Retegui’s shot is deflected behind.

Raspadori swings a cross towards the back post but it’s high and wide.

CLOSE! The first chance of the night, finally. Italy venture forwards and Calafiori finds himself in space down the left. He curls an inviting cross towards Retegui, who narrowly heads wide! Should have hit the target really.

Retegui is brought down by Pongračić and Italy will have a chance to pump the ball into the Croatian box. They don’t take it though, as Jorginho passes sideways instead.

Sutalo does well to shrug off the challenge from Raspadori and keep possession, before Gvardiol wins a free-kick near halfway.

Calafiori eventually blocks the cross from the right, and it bounces straight to Donnarumma.

Not the most exciting game so far.

Di Lorenzo wins a corner from an early cross, but Dimarco’s ball in is cleared. Modric tries to launch a counter, but he’s beaten for pace.

Kovacic does well to win possession in the middle, but Croatia can’t build a counter before Kramaric’s cross is cleared by Calafiori.

Croatia come once again, but they’re moving it too slowly and are lacking any penetration at the moment.

No chances of note so far, as Dimarco heads miles wide.

Kovacic and Modric combine in the Croatia half to pass their side out of trouble. They recycle possession to the defenders several times, before Modric Brozovic’s attempted through ball is cut out.

Italy are struggling to keep possession so far, having tried a couple of long balls forward already. Kovacic is the latest to intercept a loose Italian pass.

Italy do eventually create an attack as Pellegrini spreads it wide to Di Lorenzo, but his early cross is easily cleared for a throw.
