"After the final whistle, players of both teams were lying on the lawn, sobbing. Tears of happiness and tears of disappointment - the great drama of today's show... (Italy managed to avoid defeat thanks to a goal scored in the 8th compensated minute of the second half - ed.).

Italy went into the game with a precise plan. Spalletti gave the initiative to the opponent. The Croats showed the highest level of team pressing. And still the Croats managed to squeeze Italy with Modric's goal. But, Italy is Italy. A last-second goal puts it into the playoffs.

Bravo Spalletti. For me, he is the god of tactics Too bad for the Croats," Zakhovailo wrote on his Facebook page.
