Croatia vs Italy[edit]

With his goal, Croatia's Luka Modrić became the oldest goalscorer in the UEFA European Championship final tournament.[16] However, this also marks Croatia's elimination as a result of being edged out from the third-placed rank. Making it the first time Croatia has failed to advance to the knockout stage since 2012.

Discipline[edit]

Fair play points would have been used as a tiebreaker if the head-to-head and overall records of teams had been tied (and if a penalty shoot-out was not applicable as a tiebreaker). These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received by players and team officials in all group matches as follows:[2]

  • yellow card = 1 point
  • red card as a result of two yellow cards = 3 points
  • direct red card = 3 points
  • yellow card followed by direct red card = 4 points

Only one of the above deductions was applied to a player in a single match.

Team Match 1 Match 2 Match 3 Points
Yellow card Yellow card Yellow-red card Red card Yellow card Red card Yellow card Yellow card Yellow-red card Red card Yellow card Red card Yellow card Yellow card Yellow-red card Red card Yellow card Red card
 Spain 1 3 1 −5
 Italy 2 2 3 −7
 Albania 2 3 3[a] −8
 Croatia 2[a] 6 −8
  1. ^ a b Count includes a card from a technical staff member of the team
