In the first half, the Italians hit the goal up to 11 times, but they hit the goal area only 2 times and once in its construction. The Austrians, for their part, fired only once and did not hit the goal area, but the defense seems reliable and only Ciro Immobile’s shot into the goal area was the only dangerous moment.
In the second half, Austria was much more animated on offense. In the second half, they hit the goal up to 7 times, and Markas Arnautovičius’s head hit the net. However, after the VAR review, the sample was not credited due to its remoteness.
Neither team was able to score during the main time of the match, so an extension was played at Wembley Stadium in London.
At 95 minutes, italus overtook Federico Chiesa. The Turin Juventus defender successfully stopped the pass into the opponents’ penalty area and disarmed the Austrian goalkeeper with a strong shot from the far corner of the goal.
Another goal fell during extra time. 105 min Francesco Acerbi of Matteo Pessina was booked for kicking the ball after the whistle.
Still, the Austrians managed to maintain the intrigue until the end. After a short fight with the defender, Saša Kalajdžičius finally hit the ball.
Unfortunately, for the rest of the time, Austria was unable to fully return and had to admit defeat.
It is important to mention that in both teams the goals were scored by the players who entered the field of play after the substitutions.
