Following the equal disappointment against the Czech Republic, following the grueling nine-man ‘resistance’ to Spain, l’Under 21 finally shows its full potential removing the pass for the quarterfinals of the Europeans category, annihilating the hosts of Slovenia.

A great half hour played in the first half, which yielded three goals and a missed penalty, and an aggressive start to the second half allowed the Azzurrini to end the discussion without major worries. It is worth highlighting the excellent performance, among others, of Cutrone, author of a corset but also of Breakers that he did not regret Scamacca at all. The defense was also very good, without giving any chance to the hosts’ opponents.

Slovenia starts off on the right foot and in the first minutes puts Italy in difficulties. The Azzurrini overcome the difficult moment and gain meters passing the first lunge. Kick Cutrone, kick Pobega, reject Vekic, break in Major putting the ball in the corner. Italy frees itself of worries and continues to attack. Breakers attacks depth well and He comes face to face with Vekic and hits him for the double Azzurro. Italy does not stop, Frattesi collapses in the area and scores a penalty that Cutrone is not wrong. With 3-0 and at the end of the first half, the Italian attacker himself wins another penalty but this time he is hypnotized by Vekic.
At the beginning of the recovery, Italy started strongly and Cutrone is immediately forgiven for the mistake from the penalty spot by scoring a great goal from a distance with the ball ending up at the intersection of the goal posts. With the 4-0 and with the news coming from Spain-Czech Republic, with the Iberians ahead, Nicolato tries to manage his forces and uses all the available substitutes. Brand He enters and remedies a yellow card and before 90 ‘he is sent off for the second time in this European Championship. Too Frabotta (warned) you get a warning and will be forced to skip the next commit. Italy manages the advantage without problems, Cutrone also touches the personal hat-trick. In the end The Azzurri won 4-0 and closed Group B in second place. In the quarterfinals (to be played from May 31), Italy will face the winner of group D: one between Portugal, Croatia or Switzerland.
