Italy remains determined to beat Austria, reaching the end of Euro 2020 | Euro2020 News

Italy hit twice in extra time to beat Austria 2-1, making it the last quarter against Belgium or Portugal.

His successors Federico Chiesa and Matteo Pessina played extra time as Italy beat Austria 2-1 to reach the final of Euro 2020 at Wembley on Saturday.

The two teams were held to a 0-0 draw 90 minutes later in London, with Italy playing well in the first half but Austria beating Roberto Mancini’s side for the second time.

Chiesa started extra time to soothe the Italian hearts and another goal from Pessina made it to the final quarter against Saturday’s winners between Belgium and Portugal, despite the match.

Having been the winner in Group A with a 100% record after playing their third game in Rome, Italy were on the road for the first time in the tournament.

Mancini changed seven times from the team that beat Wales with Marco Verratti replacing Manuel Locatelli in the middle of the ball, while Giorgio Chiellini missed again with a back injury.

After singing another national anthem with the help of many Italians, the Azzurri got off to a good start.

Leonardo Spinazzola’s attempts from the left were always dangerous and he had his first goal in Italy and saw a slight explosion.

Lorenzo Insigne was selected by Verratti to the left of the Austrian penalty a few minutes later, but his shot was very close to Daniel Bachmann’s goal.

Nicolo Barella’s low volley from the Spinazzola cross forced Bachmann to keep up with his legs.

Austria had a chance to take the lead in front of the counter when Marko Arnautovic ran on goal past Leonardo Bonucci, but only set fire to the edge.

Undeterred by the fear, Italy immediately returned.

Ciro Immobile was just a short distance away to put them ahead when the Lazio player whipped a fierce 20-yard bout against the woods with Bachmann landed there.

Even putting two men on Spinazzola could not be with him and the amazing defender cut from the left to test Bachmann and walk a little further.

For all he had, Italy had no chance of killing the Austrians.

Mancini’s men were about to kick their feet in the early half of the second half when Giovanni Di Lorenzo, who was unfairly selected, admitted to a free kick that David Alaba had returned.

Austria competed in the match and Marcel Sabitzer’s effort eliminated the evil Bonucci before his appearance.

Arnautovic thought he had led Austria for 65e minutes when he shook his head from Alaba’s head, but the former West Ham player was ruled out after a VAR cover-up.

Rejected by VAR

Austria was again rejected by the VAR while Pessina’s appeal was rejected by Stefan Lainer.

The replacement for Locatelli thwarted his efforts and Domenico Berardi sent off a bike as Italy’s frustration intensified.

The game went to extra time but it didn’t take long for Italy to make a mark.

The amazing Spinazzola found Chiesa, who was in charge of the ball and broke from about five minutes to half an hour.

Italy finished the tie well 10 minutes after the ball landed on Pessina, and they drilled home before rushing to the corner flag and throwing themselves into the distance.

But it was time for the game to be delayed when Australian Sasa Kalajdzic bent down to hit the ball in the corner five minutes later but their final attempt was in vain.
