BERLIN. An excessive amount of Switzerland, too little Italy: our nationwide staff’s journey on the 2024 European Soccer Championship ends in Berlin, in a one-sided problem. Switzerland wins 2-0.
The Swiss staff demonstrated superiority at each stage: they ended the primary half at 1-0 with a purpose from Freuler (from Atalanta), and will have had two extra objectives to their credit score, thwarted by two prodigious saves from Gigi Donnarumma , the one Italian to outlive the debacle of the primary 45 minutes. Which ended with the quantity zero: zero pictures from Italy into the opponent’s purpose.
Within the second half, Spalletti performs the Zaccagni card, changing an inconclusive (and booked) El Sharawi. An nearly superstitious transfer, on condition that in opposition to Croatia Zac had given us the passage to the subsequent spherical within the 92nd minute. However it’s Switzerland that dampens – with Vargas – each Italian ambition: a purpose within the first minute of the second half brings us to our knees.
The Italian response was weak and never very constructive. Within the 63rd minute Spalletti performs the desperation card, eradicating Barella for Retegui.
After a publish by the Azzurri, with 1 / 4 of an hour to go Spalletti additionally tries Cambiaso for Pellegrini: the stress will increase a bit, however not sufficient, because the minutes tick by. With 5 minutes to go it is Frattesi’s flip to interchange Fagioli.
Within the 86th minute, a small yellow card, with an alleged handball within the Swiss penalty space, which nevertheless the referee didn’t grant, the VAR was lacking but it surely was not an alibi: the efficiency was horrible.
A humiliation for Italy. However a good outcome for what we noticed on the pitch. We’re at house, Switzerland strikes ahead.
