Gigio Donnarumma produced two great saves in the opening stage of the second half against Croatia but could not avoid Luka Modric’s goal.
Italy are 1-0 down in Leipzig due to a Modric goal after the break.
The Real Madrid star broke the deadlock at minute 55 from a rebound after a superb Donnarumma save.
Less than one minute earlier, Gigio had denied Modric from the spot, but it was still not enough to prevent Croatia from taking the lead a few seconds later.
