A Croatian win is the same as a Spanish W. Italy would just need to win to go through.
There is no scenario where Italy advances and only draws Ireland.
All this assumes Spain wins this game, which they should.

Italy will need a win with Croatia and Spain both on 4 points already.
Hopefully there is no draw in the Spain Croatia game, both teams should be playing for a win as a win gets them through and a draw could see them knocked out on Goal Difference.
Italy should have had their destiny in their own hands but poor finishing came back to bite them much like it did against Spain.
