Semi-finals : Italy 1 - 1 (4 - 2) Spain

The first semi-final match is between Italy, which aims to win the 1968 tournament, and Spain, which aims to win the fourth victory since the 2012 tournament.

Italy advanced to the semi-finals, beating Belgium, a candidate for victory, 2-1 in the quarter-finals.

Despite being aggressive, the traditional defense is also strong, showing an outstanding sense of stability with all five wins, 11 goals gained and two goals lost so far.

On the other hand, Spain has the impression that this tournament was not stable and often survived until the semi-finals.

The quarter-final match against Switzerland also became an advantageous development with one more player from the middle of the second half, but he could not win and finally advanced to this match in the penalty shootout.

Although he struggled with 1 win and 2 draws on the group stage, he managed to reach the 16th place in 2nd place. 12 goals and 5 goals. Although he is worried about his defense, there are two games that scored 5 points, and the team relies on his scoring ability.

Italy has a system called 4-3-3. Emerson played as a left-back instead of Spinazzola, who was injured in the match against Belgium.

Spain also has a system of 4-3-3, but for the first time FW Morata was removed and Ferran Torres was appointed as a starting lineup.

In the first half, Spain will play the ball forward and Italy will aim for a counter attack. However, Spain also finished 0-0 without breaking Italy's strong defense.

60 minutes. From the Italian counterattack, Chiesa finally scored in the right corner of the goal with his right foot and Italy took the lead.

In the 80th minute, Morata, who was replaced on the way from the second half, escaped from the center and escaped with Dani Olmo in one-two to finish. Spain caught up with the tie.

The game will be overtime as it is. Spain is now overtime for three consecutive games.

However, even in overtime, both sides did not give up, and the game was settled in overtime. Spain has two consecutive penalty shootouts.

In the coin toss scene, veteran Chiellini gave Giordi Alba a little bit. Each other's keeper, Simon and Donnarumma, hug each other and pray for each other's good fight. Both were impressive scenes.

In the PK match, Spain's fourth Morata missed, Italy's fifth Giorginho calmed down, and Italy scored a loose shot to the right of the goal and Italy advanced to the final 4-2.

However, Italy had a harder time than expected. From the beginning of the game, Spain dominated the game, and all the eyes of the attack were crushed by Busquets.

Even so, if he took the lead with Chiesa's goal in the second half, it seemed that he would defend with his strong defense, but he allowed Morata a vivid goal and was brought into the penalty shootout as it was.

After all, was the absence of Spinazzola on the left side large? Attention is focused on how to fight in the finals.

Spain, on the other hand, had the best match in the tournament. However, he couldn't finally lead Italy while advancing the match from beginning to end.

Compared to the previous tournament, which disappeared in the final 16, it can be said that it was a tournament that left a result under the direction of Luis Enrique.
