(VIDEO) Euro 2024 Highlights: Croatia vs Albania
Crazy match between Croatia and Albania at the Euros. The Croatians let victory slip away in stoppage time after coming back from an early Albanian goal.
Croatia remains winless in this Euro after a 2-2 draw against Albania. The Croats fell behind early, turned the game around in the second half with a two-minute comeback, but let the victory slip away by conceding a goal in the 95th minute.
Albania took the lead thanks to a goal from Qazim Laçi. His completely unmarked header in the box went past Livakovic, who likely could have done more to prevent it.
In the second half, Croatia shifted into a higher gear compared to the first half, and it showed. The equalizing goal came in the 74th minute when Kramaric perfectly finished inside the box, keeping his composure.
Buoyed by the goal, the Croatians pushed for a second and found it just two minutes later when Gjasula scored an own goal after a great play by Budimir.
While it seemed the game would end there, this crazy match had one more surprise in store. Albania sought the equalizer and found it in the 95th minute thanks to Gjasula, who had scored an own goal minutes earlier.
With this draw, both Croatia and Albania sit with one point each. Although they still control their own destiny, their chances of qualifying for the round of 16 have significantly decreased.
