Comments:

Croatia finished second ahead of Czech Republic in Group D by virtue of scoring more goals (level on points and goal difference) and progressed to the knockout stages. Already holding the record for their youngest scorer at UEFA European Championship finals, Luka Modric was now also Croatia’s oldest scorer at Euro finals (35 years and 286 days). This was their first win in the five games they had played at Hampden Park (lost one).

Comments:

Scotland finished bottom of Group D and had now been eliminated at the group stages in all 11 of their appearances at major tournaments (FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship); more than any other nation. Callum McGregor scored Scotland’s first goal at a major tournament since Craig Burley against Norway at the FIFA World Cup finals in France in June 1998. They had now lost two of their last ten games at Hampden Park (won five); both of the group games they played at the venue in this tournament.
