MILAN (Reuters) - Croatia, helped by a mistake by veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, held Italy to a 1-1 away draw on Sunday, but their evening was ruined by their fans who twice interrupted play by throwing flares onto the pitch.

The contingent of around 5,000 Croatia fans stopped play for around three minutes after their team's equaliser in the first half of the Euro 2016 qualifier. Both teams have 10 points from four games and top Group H.
