With two guaranteed victories, Italy was the first to start the Euro 2020 tournament, securing a ticket to the eighth final.
However, Roberto Mancini’s troops do not need additional motivation to fight for the third victory: the Italians will once again have the support of their army of fans, and the victory and first place in the group would mean a relatively weaker opponent in the final eighth.
The first team from Group A will play in the playoffs with the second team from Subgroup C, either Ukraine or Austria.
Wales, meanwhile, have secured a place among the three strongest teams in the sub-group, but a point in Rome would guarantee them a second place and a direct ticket to the eighth final.
It is true that even with 4 points, the network would probably rank among the teams that would enter the eighth final as the third best teams in the groups.
Italy – Wales 1: 0
39 ‘Matteo Pessina [1:0]
Match progress:
75 min. What an occasion! G.Bale does not interfere at all with his strong left foot from a few meters to hit the ball correctly.
65 min. Ward shows a great reaction and rebounds with a dangerous blow to A. Belotti.
56 min. RED CARD! First in this championship. Ethanas Ampadu is clearly injured, limping across the field and signaling to the coach that he must retire.
54 min. Right next to the goal, but in a very sharp corner, the ball was received by A. Ramsey, who failed to seriously threaten the rival goal.
51 min. The first yellow card of the match is shown to Welsh defender Joe Allen. F. Bernardeschi free-kick that hit the post!
45 min. The referee has no overtime – Italy leads 1: 0.
42 min. Pessina was very close to the double after another excellent play by Verratti.
39 min. OBJECTIVE! Great Italian task after a standard situation. M.Verratti does not lift the ball high in the fight, but instead sends it underground to M.Pessina, who has struck in the penalty area, and this takes the hosts forward with a precise shot to the furthest angle of the goal.
30 minutes. Chance F. Chiesai: his shot is blocked by the opposing defense. It seems that the Italians have already warmed up and put a higher gear.
25 min. A very abrupt, but somewhat too strong transfer from A. Belotti to F. Chiesa’s interceptor. For the Italian safety, the ball flew too fast in this situation and he missed the playing tool.
23 min. One of the rarest attacks, where the wings manage to take more control of the ball and distribute it around the field with beautiful passes.
12 min. A. Bototti performs an acrobatic jump in an attempt to reach the ball sent by a teammate into the penalty area, but does so without success. The first ten minutes fly smoothly and without serious occasions to stand out.
1 minute. The match begins!
Italian starting eleven (4-3-3): Gianluigi Donnarumma; Emersonas, Leonardo Bonucci, Alessandro Bastoni, Rafaelis Toloi; Marco Verratti, Jorginho, Matteo Pessina; Andrea Belotti, Federico Chiesa, Federico Bernardeschi.
