Italy-Spain, blue suffering

First time of suffering for Italy. Spain immediately took the measures and with a lot of pressure recover the ball quickly while holding the ball of the game. At 13 'first great opportunity for Oyarzabal who alone does not control and favors the recovery of Emerson. Ferran Torres tries the central conclusion but shoots high, then Italy lights up for a moment.

Emerson anticipates Unai Simon and serves Immobile who fails to kick into an empty goal, ball to Barella who is however blocked by the Spanish defense. The big chance is on Dani Olmo's feet who at 25 'shoots the conclusion with a sure shot, finding Donnarumma's answer. Spain continues to push and tries several times but without a conclusion. Italy closes in attack and at 45 'Emerson Palmieri from the left hits the crossbar with the ball deflected by the goalkeeper Unai Simon.

Morata responds to Chiesa

In the second half the Spain immediately restarts under pressure. Immobile surprises the two power plants after a few minutes but hits weakly. At 50 ′ providential intervention by Di Lorenzo who takes the ball off Ferran Torres' feet. Chiesa starts to light up and tries the diagonal, blocked by Unai Simon. Then at 60 'comes the goal: extraordinary restart of the Azzurri, Insigne serves Immobile, the defense pushes away on the feet of Chiesa who surprises Unai Simon with a shot around. Luis Enrique relies on Morata and the Juventus striker awakens the Iberian attack.

Busquets brushes for Oyarzabal who once again thanks Italy from two steps. The Azzurri touched immediately after the doubling: Chiesa responded by serving Berardi perfectly, as soon as he entered, but the conclusion was thwarted by Unai Simon. Mancini's team caresses the final dream but at 80 'the cold shower arrives: break of Spain that cuts the midfield in two, Dani Olmo verticalizes for Morata who is not wrong in front of Donnarumma. It's 1-1. The last ten minutes go by without jolts and we go to extra time.

Italy-Spain on penalties, Jorginho decisive

The first big action in extra time is from Spain. Free kick from the left by Dani Olmo, Donnarumma manages to block, carom in front of the goalkeeper and the ball goes wide. Yet another suffering at 101 'with a slope from the right that puts Donnarumma in difficulty, Marcos Llorente collects the ball and concludes but Chiellini makes a wall and saves the blue door. In the second extra period a strangled scream in the throat for Italy with Berardi who finds the goal but in an offside position. Fatigue prevails and the challenge is decided on penalties.

Locatelli misses the first penalty for Italy, Dani Olmo shoots high and it's still a draw. Belotti realizes and brings Italy ahead, Spain immediately finds equal with Gerard Moreno. It's up to Bonucci from the spot and makes no mistake, Thiago Alcantara draws the score. Bernardeschi gives Italy the lead, Morata is hypnotized by Donnarumma. Jorginho from eleven meters displaces Unai Simon and sends the Azzurri to the final!
