HAMBURG, Germany—Albania substitute Klaus Gjasula had the rare experience of scoring for both teams Wednesday in an intense 2–2 draw with Croatia that could make it difficult for each to survive the group stage at Euro 2024.

The Croatian players were particularly disappointed with the result in Hamburg after Gjasula’s stoppage-time goal denied them a much-needed win after they lost 3–0 to Spain in their opening Group B match.
