Italy 1-1 Croatia
Stadium Miejski played host to the Group C meeting between Italy and Croatia on June 14th. In a closely fought game Italy went into the break one goal ahead thanks to a fantastic free-kick from Andrea Pirlo. However, after the restart Croatia came back at their opponents, which resulted in an equaliser by Mario Mandzukic in the 72nd minute. Italy will now fancy their chances against Ireland in their final match, while Croatia will be looking to get something from their game with Spain.
