In the same match, Scotland won 2-1 against Poland. However, fortunately, Croatia managed to get 1 point against the top team Portugal. Fortunately for the Balkan team, in this match, Portugal proactively did not use many pillars such as C. Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva, Pedro Neto or Bruno Fernandes to give their positions to the young players.

After a 1-1 draw with Portugal, Croatia finished second in Group A1 with eight points, one point ahead of third-placed Scotland. Croatia and Portugal are the two teams representing this group in the quarter-finals. Scotland will enter the relegation play-offs, while Poland has been relegated.

In Group D, Denmark were 2 points ahead of Serbia before the final round of matches. They only needed a draw against Serbia to complete their mission. In the end, the "Tin Soldiers" completed their mission by holding Serbia to a 0-0 draw.

Thus, in Group D, Denmark and Spain are the teams with tickets to continue. Serbia participates in the relegation play-off round, while Switzerland is relegated.
