On the 3 AM of July 7th, Beijing time, the first game of the 2020 European Championship semi-finals was played by the "Azzurri" Italy against the "Matador" Spain at Wembley Stadium in London, England. In the first match of the UEFA EURO 2020 semi-final, Italy beat Spain with a total score of 5-3 through a penalty shootout, and advanced to the final!

 

Mancini's team has also set a number of brilliant records, mainly including-

 

  • It is the 10th time that Italy has reached the final of the major tournament (European Championship/World Cup). Only Germany (14 times) among European teams has the most.

  • Italy entered the Euros final for the fourth time, second only to Germany.

  • Italy has 14 consecutive victories and 33 consecutive unbeaten games, continuing to set a new record in team history.

  • Italy is unbeaten in 33 consecutive games, only 2 games away from the national team's unbeaten world record (35 games held by Brazil and Spain).

  • Italy reached 16 consecutive victories in Euros qualifiers and the main match, setting a new record in the event history.

 

In the 60th minute of the game, Italy hit a quick counterattack. Chiesa shot with his right foot in the penalty area and the ball crossed a perfect arc into the net! Italy leads 1-0!

The 23-year-old Chiesa has now scored two European Championship goals, which allowed him to surpass his father (Enrico Chiesa). It is worth mentioning that so far in this tournament, Italy has only played two games at the New Wembley Stadium (including this semi-final), and Chiesa has scored all goals, which can be called his blessed ground.
