Italy, champion of the European Championship! Crowned at Wembley after penalty shootout

(CNN) – Italy was crowned this Sunday at Euro 2020 after the penalty shoot-out against England. This is the second time that the Italians have taken home the top national team tournament in Europe.

The score in regular time and overtime was 1-1. England started out winning in the first half, only for Italy to score the tie in the second half.

The first goal of the game fell from the start of the game thanks to a shot inside the box by English defender Luke Shaw, who plays for Manchester United.

At minute 2 of the final, English right-back Kieran Trippier went on the offensive to send a cross from the edge of the large area to the other end for Shaw, his teammate on the left-back.

At times, the game tightened in the midfield. However, Italy, both late in the first half and in the first 20 minutes of the second, pressed and had at least three chances, all led by Juventus player Federico Chiesa.

At minute 65, Chiesa’s third opportunity was a cross into the box that England sent from a corner kick.

And it was from the corner that, after a series of rebounds, Italian central Leonardo Bonucci sent to save the 1-1 on the scoreboard at minute 67.

After the tying goal, the match did not have much emotion, except for two almost consecutive moments: change at minute 85 due to injury to Chiesa, who was one of the best in the match; and the intrusion at minute 87 of a fan to the field of Wembley.

Extra time and penalties in the Eurocup

The first chance of danger came in the 95th minute. Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson sent a pass down the wing to Manchester City player Raheem Sterling, who was unable to send the cross to Harry Kane as he entered the area.

Italy had two subsequent approaches, including one in which goalkeeper Jordan Pickford held back to save the English squad.

The second overtime began with a yellow card for Harry Maguire for a foul outside the box. The free throw was contained by Pickford once more.

A couple of minutes later, a cross arrived in the Italy area, but Donnarumma came out correctly to serve with fists.

In the 112th minute, Jorginho was awarded a yellow card for a hard tackle off Jack Grealish. The game did not give for more and the phase of penalties was reached.

Already from 11 steps, Italy became champion of the European Championship for the second time in its history.
