A defeat would have meant early elimination for the Seleccao but a 3-3 draw sees them qualify as one of the best-placed teams in third.  Opposite them in Lens on June 25 will be dangerous Croatia, who gave a warning of their talent with a 2-1 win against Spain. It was the first time since 2004 that La Furia Roja had tasted defeat at a European Championship, with Nikola Kalinic and Ivan Perisic overturning Alvaro Morata's opener. The game also promises a clash of Clasico rivals for Ivan Rakitic and Ronaldo, respectively of Barcelona and Real Madrid. The winner will advance into a quarter-final game in Marseille on June 30 against either Switzerland or Poland.</blockquote>
