RESULT: Italy 1-1 Spain (aet 1-1; Italy win 4-2 on penalties). What a way to win a fantastic game of football! As cool as you like, Jorginho has sent Italy into Sunday’s final, where they’ll play either Denmark or … England. Same again tomorrow night?
All of a sudden, it’s match point! Jorginho sends Simon to the left, with a skip and a flick of the eyes, and rolls into the bottom right. Italy are in the final!
Italy beat Spain on penalties to reach the Euro 2020 final after an enthralling semi-final at a noisy Wembley.
After Alvaro Morata’s penalty was saved, Jorginho strolled up to score and set up a final with either England or Denmark in London on Sunday.
Federico Chiesa looked as if he had sent Italy – who are unbeaten in 33 games – to the final in normal time with a delightful curled finish to cap off a quick counter.
But Morata stepped off the bench to slot an equaliser with 10 minutes to go after a one-two with Dani Olmo.
But the Juventus forward’s penalty miss in the shootout proved costly as Spain lost a semi-final for the first time in their history.
Fears about an empty or quiet crowd proved unfounded despite tickets still being on sale during the day, and with fans unable to fly from either country without quarantining for too long to watch the game.
