The Italian national team defeated the Swiss national football team at the 2021 European Championship game in Rome on Wednesday, being the first Euro 2020 participant to secure a place in the eighth final of the tournament.
The Italian national football team won in front of its spectators with the result 3: 0 (1: 0). Two goals were scored by support midfielder Manuel Lokatelli, who for the first time in his professional career scored two goals in one game, but the point was scored by Chiro Immobile.
The Swiss national team started the game resolutely, going to the Italian national team goal in the first few minutes. However, even the Italian footballers immediately proved the strength of their attack. After a short tussle with the defender, Giorgio Kjellini finally tucked the ball home. The captain of the unit was replaced a few minutes later due to an injury.
However, this did not dampen the vigor of the Italian national unit. Domeniko Berardi’s speed was almost enough to give Manuelam Lokatelli a goal after 26 minutes, but his nice pass to Manuelam Lokatelli was not taken care of properly. The goalkeeper of the Swiss team, Jan Zommer, was not short of work, and the active left-wing defender Leonardo Spinacola was also causing a lot of problems.
Swiss footballers scored more than a single shot in the first 45 minutes in the second half. However, the questions about the winner were partially removed by Lokatelli’s accurate shot from the distance game in the 51st minute, the Italian team reaching the result 2: 0.
The scoreboard now reads in part. However, the owners of the court organized dangerous quick attacks until the end of the game, throwing them a little three times at the end of the game. The Rome Lazio striker did not give up, after a beautiful long shot in the 89th minute, scoring the second goal in the championship.
The Italian national team with six points in two games has already secured a place in the eighth final, but is followed by four points by the Welsh national team, which a few hours earlier, defeated the Turkish team. Both teams will determine the winner of the subgroup on Sunday.
In turn, the fight for the eighth final will be held on Sunday by the Swiss national team, which has scored one point in two games, but can still overtake the Welsh. The chances of becoming one of the top four third place owners are left for the Turkish state, which is still without points.
The portal “Delfi” offered live text of the game.
Euro 2020: Italy – Switzerland
Game statistics (“Sofascore”):
Italy – Switzerland 3: 0. Game overThe Italian team qualifies for the eighth final!
The compensation period will be three minutes.
89. min. Italy – Switzerland 3: 0 Immobiles’ efforts are finally coming to an end! The attacker picks up the ball, turns around and executes a strong long shot unexpectedly enough. Zommers reaches the ball slightly, but it reaches the bottom corner of the goal.
86. In Rome, almost everyone got up. Thanks to two-goal scorer Manuel Lokatelli, who is replaced by Mateo Pesina. Brians Kristante is also coming in on the field.
79 min. Nicolo Barella suffers quite a lot in a collision with Embolo. The injury to Alesandro Florence and Marco Verrati was prevented from participating in this game. It is to be hoped that Kjellini and Barella have not suffered too much. Embolo deserves a yellow card.
76 min Reuben Vargas replaces Jerdan Shakiri. Is Petkovic thinking early about the game against Turkey, in which the Swiss national team will have to fight for a place in the next round?
75th min.Again! Quick attack. Cyrillic Immobile. Blow right past the pole.
72 min. Once again, Swiss footballers have been on the Italian side longer. The Italians react to every pass, but eventually block Shakiri’s shot. The judges then admit that there was a rear. A pass to the side pulled the defense out of position which let Immobili slip through on goal.
70 min.Manchini also makes the first shifts. Defender Rafael Toloi replaces active forward Domeniko Berardi, while midfielder Federico Kjeza replaces forward Lorenzo Insinji.
64 min. Embol makes a good chance for Cuber to come on, who strikes from a few meters but from a sharp angle. The height of the task is Donnarumma, from which flows a giant conviction. The goalkeeper continues to attack with cold blood, even though there are opponents nearby. At the end of the attack, Immobile hit extremely hard, but a little over the crossbar.
61 min Shakiri takes a shot, which is probably the first real show of the Swiss national team. The ball flies well over the goal. The Italians immediately ran into the counterattack, but with several passes suppressed their own efforts.
58 min Midfielder Steven Zuber replaces defender Fabian Sher. Possibly a change in Switzerland.
57 min. Possibly a slight shock to the Swiss national team. The game after the goal is mostly in the middle of the field.
51 min. Italy – Switzerland 2: 0. Lokatelli, second goalkeeper unexpectedly sends the ball into the bottom corner of the goal. He was topped by Freiler and Elved, who presumably prevented Zommer from seeing the moment of the blow. The goalkeeper didn’t even respond to the show, which was performed a little outside the penalty area. The 23-year-old footballer scores two goals in one game for the first time in his career.
49 min. The Swiss national team definitely has a readiness and desire to strive for a positive outcome. The Italians create the most dangerous situation themselves, playing too lazily in their penalty area.
Italy – Switzerland 1: 0. The second half has started, Petkovič is already starting to change. Seferovich is replaced by Mario Gavranovich.
First Half Statistics (Sofascore):
Italy – Switzerland 1: 0. The first half is over.
The compensation time will be two minutes.Insinje at its entrance promises to run into the penalty area, but then proceeds inaccurately.
42 min. Italian footballers enter the free zones with lightning speed several times in a row. Dangerous episodes are turned into two corner blows, as well as Immobiles blows from a sharp angle. Zommers successfully crossed the ball into the box.
After 37 minutes, Spinacola tried to exploit their counterattacking skills, unfortunately, Spinacola’s shot sailed wide after his break down the right. The defender hits very cunningly with the outside of his right foot. The creative idea does not work to the end.
36 min. Unsuccessful corner kick from the Swiss team only gives the Italians a chance to run into a quick attack. Bernardi’s shot is blocked at the end. Another alarm bell …
33 minutes in, Immmobile made an incredible run up the middle and nearly reduced the home side’s lead, but Zommeram refused to let the ball slip by him. The attacker fought to the end without allowing the goalkeeper to catch the ball in his hands, but his teammates were unable to seize the opportunity.
32 min. The Swiss national team has also had the opportunity to play with the ball after the goal. The pace will drop.
26. min. Italy – Switzerland 1: 0. Now the Italian national team is in the lead, the pressure after Kjellini’s accurate shot subsided a bit until the Italian national team suddenly broke out in a quick transition attack. The Italians swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors’ defense were able to clear the ball. The player down was Manuel Lokatelli.
24. min. How fast turns! Kjellini concludes immediately after the missed goal that the game cannot continue. Rome’s Lazio defender Francesco Acerbi comes on the field.
19. min. The first corner kick of the game is converted into an unbeatable goal. However, the repetition of the video helps to conclude that the team captain alone won the duel against two opponents, partly due to the barely noticeable hand play.
12 min. The Swiss national team has failed to maintain the high pace of the game. The Italians are already attacking depressingly. Leonardo Spinacola swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors’ defense were able to clear the ball.
11. min. The first great opportunity in this game! Immobile gets his head on it.
6 min. Now a couple of threatening quick attacks performed by the Italian national team. The Italians are not until the blow.
4th minute The Swiss national team unexpectedly took on the role of “number one”. Guests successfully create gambling attacks.
The game has started!

For the Italian team, victory would guarantee at least second place in the subgroup. On the other hand, the Swiss national team, even at the point, would significantly complicate the situation in subgroup A, which is led by the Welsh national team after the match at 19.00.
The two national units are united by a rich history of 58 mutual games. However, in the last 22 years, the teams have met only four friendly matches, three of which have ended in a draw.
The temperature at the Olympic Stadium in Rome on Wednesday night is +25 degrees Celsius, but in its grandstands there are enough fans of the Italian and Swiss national teams.
