45 – THE FIRST HALF ENDS. AZZURRINI DESERVEDLY ADVANTAGE OVER AN ICELAND THAT HAS INCREASED THE RHYTHM ONLY AFTER THEY WAS DISADVANTED
39 – Azzurrini still close to doubling: Sottil goes to the bottom and, from the left, puts a strong and tense low shot in the center on which Scamacca, in a slide, is unable to intervene for a fraction of a second
38 – Italy close to doubling with Sala, well primed by Rovella, but the blue arrives with a long step and fails, even if on the fly, to give the ball the necessary strength. Gunnarsson blocks smoothly
35 – GOAL ITALY! Pobega is good at picking up a short return from the Icelandic defense and, a few meters from the opponent’s goal, he bags at the edge of the post with a strong and tense left
33 – We continue to (not) play in the 40 meters of the central area of the field
27 – Both defenses defend with many men behind the line of the ball, demonstrating that they want to achieve that positive result essential for both teams to continue the run-up to the final phase of the European Championship
24 – Italy responds with Sottil on a free-kick from a distance, but, also thanks to the headwind, the conclusion goes off far from the opponent’s goal
20 – The first attempt to break the deadlock is by Gudjohnsen (owned by Spezia), but the Icelandic striker’s head spin is not effective and the ball ends up high on the crossbar
16 – Much more staid pace than at the start of the game. Italy tries some forays through launches which, for now, have found Scamacca on the off side
14 – The azzurrini keep possession of the ball, but without being able to gain meters towards the Icelandic defense
12 – The rain complicates things for both teams, who are playing with only 4th and with a fair wind in favor of the Icelanders in this first part of the race
8 – During a defensive clearance, Carnesecchi misjudges Gudjohnsen’s position, who then fails to control the ball after the clash with the blue number one
6 – The azzurrini are managing the ball, without, however, being able to get close to the opponent’s area
2 – As expected, the home team immediately started attacking the Italian rearguard. It should be noted that Nicolato modified the form for this race to better contain the Icelanders’ attacks
1 – Iceland, in blue uniform, moves the first ball of the match. Italy in a white suit
