24 March 2021 Scamacca is not enough: in Celje, Slovenia, Italy Under 21's bitter 1-1 against the Czech Republic on the first day of group B (the first two pass), the last step of qualifying for the European Championships.
Next match Saturday against Spain (3-0 to the hosts of Slovenia).
Aggressive start by the Czechs: Carnesecchi's miracle on the close deviation of Lingr (10 '), who tries again two minutes later but the blue goalkeeper is still attentive.
Italy takes a while to enter the match and take the field, but at the first real opportunity it strikes (31 '): Cutrone's splendid assist for Scamacca (already threatening at 17'), who bypasses Jedlicka and deposits on the net.
Before the interval the opponent number one opposes Cutrone's blow.
Azzurrini close to doubling at 60 ': Frattesi cross from the right, Cutrone veil, Scamacca's deviation comes out by a whisker.
The goal canceled in Lingr (70 ') for a clear offside precedes the equal of the Czech Republic by a few moments: on the tense slope of Karabec, an unfortunate deflection by Maggiore that mocked Carnesecchi (75').
Italy tries to react immediately, but Jedlicka is not surprised by Tonali's insidious free-kick from the trocar that crosses the whole area.
Serious naivety of the Milan midfielder in the 84th minute, who gets sent off (direct red) for a reaction foul on Sasinka.
Despite the numerical inferiority, Nicolato's team has a great reaction of pride, but they are not lucky: they reach 1-2 Major, Scamacca and Sala twice.
A few seconds before the triple whistle (94 '), Marchizza remedies the second yellow card and greets him too early.
It ends in a burning draw.
