<Reporter> The
final match was held in Wembley, 'the holy land of the final soccer song', with fans who did not even have a ticket flocking to it.
England, who are aiming for their first ever championship, roared first in the first two minutes.
Trippier's ball from the right flank was hit by Luke Shaw with a left-footed non-stop shot, breaking the 'bold defense'.
In the 22nd minute of the second half, Italy took a corner kick and turned the game to the fore.
Verati's header was blocked by the keeper, but Bonucci rushed in and finished it.
Just before the end of the tight 1-1 overtime, Southgate England manager replaced Rashford and Sancho, who have good kicks in preparation for a penalty shootout, but this was a defeat.
Rashford's shot hit the post, and the next kicker Sancho's shot was blocked by Donnarumma, who boasts a '100% penalty shoot-out rate'.
Donnarumma, who did not move until the kicker was full, and read the direction in an animalistic way, blocked the shot of 20-year-old rookie Saka, who became the last kicker, to secure the championship with her own hands.
Italy, which has won all matches without losing a match in A Match 34, lifted the trophy for the first time in 53 years.
22-year-old Donnarumma won the MVP for the first time in the history of a goalkeeper who could not even achieve his idol Buffon.
