Croatia was denied a critical comeback victory by Albania's later goal.
Croatia and Albania engaged in one of the most disorganized and enjoyable games of Euro 2024 until the umpire abruptly ended the match.
Croatia, who had led at half-time and appeared to be lacking in offensive ideas, believed they had made an impressive return following the split.
Andrej Kramaric scored the winner after finding himself unknown and free in the package before guiding a small shot through Elseid Hysaj's legs into the bottom left corner.

And only two hours later, Croatia were in before. A quick shot and a run-back from alternative Mario Pasalic down the left caused a cut up. After a rebound off Klaus Gjasula's goal, Albans goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha was helpless, their fortune ran away, leaving them with no hope.
Croatia, who had looked in danger of suffering a humiliating defeat against one of the tournament's lowest-ranked groups, needed both objectives.
But the crisis did not end it. Gjasula made amends for his own goal with a finish that was cool and made the Croatian fans enthralled in extra time.

Like in their opening match against Italy, Sylvinho's part were unable to hold onto their small result, despite some stable defending for extended times. However, they rallied again this day, drawing a consolation draw, and the commentary panelists were left speechless.
Croatia's people were obviously dejected at entire time. They are aware that their ability to qualify then will depend on whether they can defeat Italy in their ultimate group match.
