Another thrilling evening of Euro 2024 action saw Albania grab a late equaliser to steal a draw against Croatia, leaving the latter bottom of the group with a game to go. Germany underlined their status as favourites with a 2-0 win over Hungary, courtesy goals from Jamal Musiala and Ilkay Gundogan, that saw them through to the last 16.
Scotland remained alive in the competition, earning a 1-1 draw against Switzerland with Xherdan Shaqiri scoring with a trademark stunner once again to cancel out Scott McTominay's opener.
