A great proof is not enough Donnarumma to avoid Italy’s defeat against Spain. The Azzurri narrowly fell on the second day of group B, betrayed by an unfortunate own goal Calafiori in the 55th minute of the game. De La Fuente’s national team dominated throughout the match, coming close to doubling their lead several times and hitting the crossbar with Nico Williams. The disconcerting fact is that the team of Spalletti he finished the race without ever worrying Unai Simon, a non-paying spectator of the match. Now on Monday evening Italy will play for passage to the round of 16 in the match against Croatia: Spain has already qualified first and leads the group with 6 points.

Spain-Italy, the news
Complicated first half forItaly totally at the mercy of the Spaniards’ phrasing: the national team of De La Fuente It starts strong straight away and already after two minutes Pedri head-on Donnarumma called to the miracle. At the 10th another wonderful opportunity for the Furie Rosse with Nico Williams who only in front of the blue number 1 slightly puts you out of your mind. The blue goalkeeper is called to two more super interventions, first on a blow Fabian Ruiz and then onto an angled low shot Morata. The only opportunity for the Azzurri came at the end of the first half of the game with Church who shoots high in front of Unai Simon.
The second half opens with a double change for the Azzurri: inside Cambiaso And Cristanteout Frattesi And Jorginho. Spain still pressed high and in the 55th minute Nico Williams crossed from the left with Donnarumma who, coming out low, cleared the ball to the feet of Calafiori who, in daring fashion, gave the advantage to De La Fuente’s national team. In the 70th minute, Spain was close to doubling their lead: once again a wild Nico Williams converged from the left and with a right-footed shot, hit the top corner. At the end of the match, Italy tries above all with crosses into the area but it is still Spain who comes close to making it 2-0 with Ayoze Perez on two occasions, stopped again by an amazing Donnarumma.
