2012 Euro Cup Group C: Italy 1-1 Croatia

Thursday, June 14, 2012 Report by Rajarshi Ghosh

Mario Mandzukic's goal saw Croatia come from behind to force a 1-1 draw with Italy in Group C of Euro 2012 on Thursday.

Italy opened the scoring in Poznan through an excellent free-kick from Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo, who beat Stipe Pletikosa at the goalkeeper's near post six minutes before half-time.

It took Slaven Bilic's side until the 71’ to force the equaliser, when Mandzukic collected Ivan Strinic's cross at the back post, before netting via a deflection off the upright.

Croatia proved unable to force a winner in the time remaining, but they now have four points from two matches played.

Italy remain undefeated but have just two points to show for their efforts after also giving up a one-goal lead to draw 1-1 in their opening match against holders Spain.
