EURO 2020 SEMIFINAL: ITALY-SPAIN
Gianluigi Donnaruma comes to the rescue to avoid the Italian team’s goal after a very dangerous shot by Dani Olmo.
The Italians quickly put the tension in the opponents’ penalty area, but the shot was not taken, the Spanish team breathed easier.
The visitor Ferranas Torresas took advantage of a misunderstanding between the local goalkeeper and the centrals after 31 minutes of the game.
As expected, the 45 minutes were dominated by the Spanish, with 68 percent of the ball’s possession. It makes 32 percent. The Italian team tends to play in the “second number”.
The Italian team creates a dangerous opportunity, Nicolo Barella’s shot rebounds off the goal axis, but the referee soon fixes a sideline rule violation.
We remind you that the Italian team has not lost 32 matches in a row, and has finished the last 13 matches with victory. These are the records for this team.
The match will be judged by the German referee Felix Brych.
The Spanish team does not include Álvaro Moratos, who was replaced by Mikel Oyerzabalis.
The start of the match in Lithuanian time is at 10 pm.
