Nakon veličanstvene pobjede (3:2) nad Engleskom na kultnom Wembleyju na kraju kvalifikacijskog ciklusa, zbog koje je Gordi Albion ostao bez ulaznice za završni turnir, bilo je teško obuzdati entuzijazam oko izabranika Slavena Bilića. Vatreni su odgovorili izazovu u velikom stilu, pobijedivši sve tri utakmice u grupnoj fazi.
Bečku premijeru protiv domaćina Austrijanaca okrunio je pobjedonosni pogodak iz jedanaesterca Luke Modrića već u četvrtoj minuti. Hrvatska je u zadnjim minutama zabrinula svoje navijače, a značajan doprinos morao je dati i hrvatski vratar Stipe Pletikosa.
Četiri dana poslije u Klagenfurtu Hrvatska je zablistala protiv budućih finalista Nijemaca. U jednoj od najboljih hrvatskih predstava u modernoj povijesti, Löwove trupe pale su pred pogocima Darija Srne i Ivice Olića, a utješni pogodak Podolskog (2:1) nije uspio zaustaviti slavlje Vatrenih. Plasman u četvrtfinale već je bio osiguran.
Stoga je Bilić protiv Poljske dao priliku svojim pričuvnim sastavima, no povratna informacija nije se promijenila: Ivan Klasnić početkom drugog poluvremena zabio je odlučujući pogodak (1:0), a Hrvatska je odmah vratila fokus na Beč, na sukob s Turskom.
Utakmica je bila u mrtvoj točki 119 minuta, a onda je heroj s transplantiranim bubregom Ivan Klasnić pronašao put do mreže za hrvatsko oduševljenje. Radost je, međutim, bila kratkog daha. Posljednjim udarcem na utakmici Sentürk je uspio izjednačiti, a polufinalista su odlučili jedanaesterci. Hrvati više nisu bili hladnih glava, polufinale, koje se u jednom trenutku činilo tako blizu, ostalo je samo san. Nacija je bila u suzama, utakmica u Beču bila je i ostala jedna od najtužnijih u povijesti.
