Spain will play Italy in the last
16 of Euro 2016 as they were runners-up in Group D after conceding a
late winner against Croatia, who finish top.
Spain took the lead when Cesc Fabregas dinked the ball over keeper Danijel Subasic and Alvaro Morata tapped in.
An Ivan Rakitic lob hit the woodwork for Croatia, who equalised when Nikola Kalinic turned in Ivan Perisic's cross.
Subasic saved a Sergio Ramos penalty and Perisic's late winner gave Croatia a tie against a third-placed qualifier.
Perisic
lashed in an 87th-minute shot in a thrilling match to inflict Spain's
first defeat in 15 games at the European Championship.
Croatia will now play on Saturday in Lens, while Spain's mouth-watering tie against Italy will take place on Monday in Paris.
