The second suit also fits Italy. The “Squadra Azzurra” prevailed 1-0 (1-0) against Wales on Sunday at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome with eight positions changed and won Group A after their third victory with the maximum number of points. Due to the better goal difference than Switzerland, which also holds four points, the Welsh are second in the group as well in the round of 16. Match winner was Atalanta Bergamo actor Matteo Pessina (39th).
The Welsh ended the game after an exclusion of Ethan Ampadu (55th) outnumbered. With the 30th game without defeat, the Italians set the age-old record of Vittorio Pozzo as the Italian team boss from the 1930s. Another impressive balance sheet was also continued. The last eleven international matches were not only won, but also to zero, with a goal difference of 32-0. At the EM, the team of coach Roberto Mancini holds 7-0.
Italy’s team boss left only goalie Gianluigi Donnarumma, captain Leonardo Bonucci and Jorginho in the team compared to the 3-0 win against Switzerland. That and the fact that a draw was enough for the hosts to win the group ensured an initial phase without highlights on either side. It was only in the 24th minute that the Italians came dangerously into the penalty area, where a sharp Belotti cross found no taker. Two minutes later, Wales approached a goal for the only time in the first half, with a Gunter header missing.
As the first 45 minutes continued, the Italians improved and then set the tone. Ampadu clarified for his goalie with a Chiesa conclusion from an acute angle (29th). The opening goal was only briefly postponed. A flat free kick by comebacker Marco Verratti was skillfully extended into the far corner by Pessina. The midfielder almost managed a double in a similar way, this time the ball just missed the far corner (42nd).
Wales could not improve even after the restart, so Italy had little trouble to bring the victory over time. A higher victory was in the air several times. In a Bernardeschi free kick from more than 20 meters, the bar saved (53.). Two minutes later, Ampadu was rightly disfellowshipped after a kick against Bernardeschi. That played the home side even more in the cards. Wales goalkeeper Danny Ward prevented a higher deficit in the duel with Andrea Belotti (65th).
Against the course of the game, Wales almost equalized, Bale had not correctly adjusted his visor in a volley shot from six meters (75th). On the other hand, Ward held a Belotti shot (88th). Italy will face the second in Group C in the round of 16 next Saturday, June 26th, in London, i.e. Austria or Ukraine. Wales competes with runner-up in Pool B on the same day in Amsterdam.
