ITALY BOOK A SPOT IN SUNDAY’S FINAL AT WEMBLEY
The AZURRI’s have qualified for the final of the EURO2020 final.
Italy will play England or Denmark in the final of Euro 2020 after beating Spain 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in their semi-final at Wembley.
Chelsea midfielder Jorginho scored the winning spot-kick, following Alvaro Morata's miss, which was well saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma.
It was a cruel end for the former Chelsea striker, who had seemingly made amends for a hitherto wasteful tournament (two goals from 4.38 xG before the semi-final) by coming off the bench to score Spain's 80th-minute equaliser and ensure the tie ended 1-1 in normal time.
His cool finish, following a superb one-two with Dani Olmo, cancelled out Federico Chiesa's brilliant strike on the hour. After five successful penalties in succession, Donnarumma guessed the right way to deny Morata, leaving Jorginho's usually reliable hop, skip and jump technique to book Italy's place in Sunday's final.
