Italy became the first side to book their place in the final of Euro 2020 on Tuesday night, as they defeated Spain on penalties.
The Azzurri got themselves in front through Federico Chiesa in the second half of regular time, but a buoyant Spain managed to get themselves back in it through substitute Alvaro Morata.
La Roja looked to be favourites to take the game in 90 minutes, but couldn’t capitalise on their chances, leading the tie to extra time.
Again, it was Spain who looked more threatening but the semi final had to be decided on penalties, which Luis Enrique‘s side have been struggling with of late, and it proved decisive.
Despite Manuel Locatelli missing the first penalty for Italy, Spain went on to miss their next three, and Italy didn’t miss again. Jorginho stepped up to take the crucial kick in his unique style, and made no mistake.
