Gli Azzurri Win 4-0

Bologna –

Italy won a 4-0 win over Czech Republic in the test match. This is Gli Azzurri’s last preparation before competing in Euro 2020.

At Renato Dall’Ara, Saturday (5/6/2021) early in the morning, Italy opened the scoring in the 23rd minute. Jakub Brabec tried to block Lorenzo Insigne’s crossing, but the sweeping ball reached Ciro Immobile’s feet in the penalty box.

After briefly brushing Ondrej Celutstka, the Lazio striker then fired a shot that was lodged in the Czech goal which was guarded by Jiri Pavlenka.

In the 42nd minute, Italy added the advantage. Nicolo Barella dribbled to the front of the Czech penalty box, then fired hard with his right foot. The ball hit Jan Boril, but still rolled into Pavlenka’s goal.

The score of 2-0 lasted until the break.

In the second half, Italy’s advantage was increasingly unstoppable. The score increased to 3-0 in the 66th minute. Immobile’s through ball was successfully received by Insigne who stabbed from the left side. One measured kick from the Napoli player to the right corner of the goal was enough to bear fruit.
