The second participant in the EURO 2020 quarter-finals was announced on Saturday night.
It became the Italian team, which broke the Austrians 2: 1 only after extra time in the eighth final.
In the first half, the Italians controlled the game, but did not create many dangerous opportunities. The closest to the goal in the first part of the match was Ciro Immobile, who shook the structure of the goal.
The visitors kept up the pressure to tie the game when, in the 65th minute, Marko Arnautovičius broke the center and found himself alone with the goalkeeper.
Neither team scored in the 90 minutes, so for the first time in this championship they had to play an overtime.
Italai had a good opportunity to attack on the wings, but remembered his instructions to attack in the middle.
Austrai revived the intrigue in the second half of extra time: in the 114th minute, Saša Kalajdžičius scored.
Still, the Italians did not let the victory escape and advanced to the EURO 2020 quarter-finals.
