18th:

Goal canceled for Italy. 

Chiellini wins in the middle of a Swiss forest and scores from the left.

But VAR canceled the goal for a hand from the Italian defender.

16th:

Badge apologizes.

Nice combination between Insigne and Immobile but the Neapolitan sends a shot far above the goals. 

12th: It's playing really well on the Italian side.

 And it's not my habit to say so.

They take their time, spin the ball before coming to challenge the defense. 

10th:

First chance of the match for Italy.

Locatelli overflows left side and center for Immobile, but the Lazio striker does not frame his header. 

8th: Beware of the loss of balls for the Helvetians

.

The Italian players are well on their feet and things are running fast forward!

5th: 

Heavy pressing from the Italians to immediately hamper the Swiss. 

3rd:

The Swiss have possession of the ball, but we feel that Italy can hurt offensively. 

1st: It started at the Olympic stadium in Rome, in front of 16,000 people. 

8:55 p.m.:

We will not delay.

 The players make their entrance for the national anthems. 

8:46 p.m.: Marco Verratti is still not on the scoresheet.

 Mancini still preserves him a little bit after his knee injury.

We will have to wait a while before seeing him show up at a press conference and replace a bottle of soda or beer with a pack of cigarettes.

For now, it's just a whisper, a bit of a crazy gamble before the real fun begins.

What if Italy, sitting on a series of victories unprecedented in its history, were the big odds of this Euro?

Roberto Mancini's men had never scored three goals in a European Championship before the beating inflicted on Turkey, and the Alpine derby was more successful than the reverse, although the last confrontation between Squadra Azzura and Switzerland is going up a bit.

It was in 2010, but there are still two survivors: the indestructible Chiellini and Shaquiri.

The second will have more pressure, after the draw conceded in the opening against the Welsh (1-1).
