Comments:

Excluding penalty shoot-outs, Spain had lost two of their last 23 games at UEFA European Championship tournaments (won 14). . Alvaro Morata had now scored against Croatia in each of the last three editions of the UEFA European Championship tournaments (2016 in Bordeaux and 2020 in Copenhagen). . Aged 16 years and 338 days, Lamine Yamal had now become the youngest-ever player to appear in a game at a UEFA European Championship tournament. He broke the record held by Poland’s Kacper Kozlowski who was 17 years and 246 days when he played against Spain at Euro 2020 in Seville.

Comments:

Croatia conceded three goals in the first-half of a game for the first time since a 6-0 defeat to Spain in the UEFA Nations League at Elche on 11 September 2018. . They had now lost four of their last six games at UEFA European Championship tournaments (won one). . Luka Modrić had already made 16 of his current total of 176 appearances for Croatia before Spain’s Lamine Yamal was born. . Bruno Petković scored in the 80th minute but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to encroachment at the preceding penalty kick.
