It was Spain, which finished second in the group behind Sweden, which opened best at the Park in Copenhagen.
But when neither Koke nor Alvaro Morata took advantage of their positions in the beginning, it was instead Croatia who broke the deadlock first - after great help from the Spaniards.
An unstressed Sergio Busquets chose to play home to Unai Simón in the goal, on a daily basis in Athletic Bilbao.
The only problem was that Simón missed the reception and the ball ended up in his own goal cage.
- Oh no, Unai Simón!
This is a nightmare.
It's just lack of concentration ... careless and untechnical.
What a nightmare, says SVT's expert Markus Johannesson.
Despite the loss, Spain rose.
With 37 minutes played, Pablo Sarabia nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar.
The eighth meeting is in progress - it says 1-1.
