18 November 2020The azzurrini di Nicolato, however already qualified for the second phase of the European Championship, honor their last commitment in Pisa by beating Sweden 4-1, who aimed to win to pass the round as one of the five best runners-up.
For the Italian under 21 it is a sort of revenge given that the Scandinavians, who showed up in Pisa with 11 defections between Covid and injuries, had inflicted the only defeat of the group with a heavy 3-0 in the first leg in the month of September.
Nicolato resorts to a robust turnover with the qualification goal reached in advance. But whoever goes on the pitch plays with commitment and determination. Azzurrini immediately attacked. At 20 'chance for Scamacca, Dahlberg is ready. Shortly after, however (27 ') Maleh invents a great goal with a left at the intersection. Timid Swedish attempts in the final time. In the second half, Italy immediately found the double (48 ') with a nice right from the edge of Raspadori, shortly after (50') Sweden shortened with Karlsson who surprised Cerofolini from 18 meters. However, the Azzurrini did not lose their proactive spirit. The Swedish goal remains an episode. Italy is rampant: Raspadori still scores (61 ') on an assist from Scamacca who signs poker shortly after (68').
