Chieeessaaa 1 - 0 for Italy

Another shot from a right foot but this one is not from Insigne, it is from Chiesa.  


Nicolo Barella looks a bit tired.

GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL.......
Italy scored the first goal of today's match. A great goal. Federico Chiesa scored for Italy. Just awesome. Italy should play defensively now and win the match 1-0. Italy's defense is already very strong, and if they play defensively, Spain's players will not be able to score.

As expected, Italy was able to carry out a counterattack!) Now the battle begins! The Spaniards could start fidgeting and concede another goal... In any case, Italy is now comfortable to defend and be without the ball...

This match between Italy and Spain has been breathtaking. Both teams have shown up and are playing some really open soccer. I think Spain might just get back into this game before the final whistle of normal time goes and this will go into extra time. I think it will then be a nervy match for both sides and ultimately it will go to penalties which Italy will take the win.

Since Italy scored Spain has had some good chances which they haven't capitalized on. The closer this match comes to the end the more nervy I expect Italy to get even though defensively they have been excellent so far.

Anything Can Happen Now, The Game Has Been Played From One Side (Spain), It's Happened Because They're Conceding, But Yeah Right, Because They're Chasing Goals So Their Defense Might Be A Little Unguarded.

My Expectations Fixed Score 1 - 0 For Italy Or 1 - 1

The match takes place according to the most inconvenient scenario for Spain - they conceded first and now the control of the ball which they are fond of does not mean anything - the Italian team only needs to wait for the end of the match, playing carefully in defense.
The odds of the bookmakers show the odds of Spain quite clearly:
1,35 - 4,25 - 17,50

[coinlocket$]

Oh yeah, Chiesa from the start it will be a great game!

As always told you guys if Chiesa was under Guardiola now we are talking about a 100m € player.

He has something more than the others.

After the Spanish players conceded the first goal, it seems that they have lost their morale, we do not see any strong attack in the second half from the Spanish players. However, the goalkeepers and defenders of both the teams are performing outstandingly. Both teams are attacking, but not being able to score goals for the defenders.

That was a beautiful build up from Spain and Morata was indeed able to convert the opportunity to get Spain on level terms, It was a well deserved goa and it seem the momentum is with them now, the rest of the game should be interesting as well.

You can call me a visionary because I just predicted that Spain would score and that they did in style too! Both teams are playing a little nervy at the moment following that goal but Italy is the one that seems to be the more nervy of the two. They need to get through extra time as Spain have their tails up now. I think if Italy can get through extra time then they will win on penalties as I think they have the more technical players.

I think Italy have just enough to see them through extra time and take the match on penalties. They do not have much attacking threat at the moment while Spain are threatening with every attack. It will be a long 30 minutes ahead for Italy but I think they can do it.

The match is really interesting and Spain somehow scored the goal with the help of Álvaro Morata and now Spain is attacking and anything can happen in the final minutes and we are certain that we might go to extra time and most probably to a shoot out. Both teams are making changes in the team and the match depends upon which defense will hold till the end in the extra time.

If we were judging on defense I would say Italy but at the moment they seem very scrappy and there was definitely a penalty claim for that Italian hand ball in the box. The Italian defender got away with that one. Spain are putting a lot of pressure on and they might just get the goal in extra time but I think Italy after a short break might get their act together and defend for the rest of the match. I still have Italy to win on penalties.

From what I was guessing, the match will be a 1-1 draw in 90 minutes and the match will go on for extra 30 minutes. My guess is correct, now the match is a 1-1 draw. Federico scored for Italy and experienced Morata scored for Spain. It is still impossible to predict which team will reach the final.

[AverageGlabella]

Extra time it is! It was getting tense there in the last few minutes with Spain dominating the attacking areas. What do you guys think? Will Italy last the 30 minutes required to get to penalties or do you think they have enough to steal a goal on the counter attack while Spain throw themselves at them?

Are we all thinking that if it does reach penalties that Italy will win because they have the more technical players?

[Upgrade00]

Spain played their quarter final fixture to the very last kick (penalty), and here again at the semis they are going to extra time, j certainly hope match fitness does not start to play a part against them. Both teams have put up a good performance tonight, with Spain being the better of the two sides; It is now a question of who wants it more.

[Iranus]

The 90-minute flight is over. Both teams were able to score one goal each, the match is now in a draw. Italy could not make any on-target shots in the first half. But in the second half, they made 4 on-target shots. The outcome of the match is completely uncertain. Anything can happen. Both teams are attacking a lot and defender and goalkeeper Sakong are resisting the attack.

[coinlocket$]

1 - 1 I think Spain is in a better mental condition right now.

30 minutes left or penalties. Who will be the first team who will play the final?

Italy were attacking a lot but they seem a little wary of the counter attack from Spain now that they have conceded. In the last few minutes of normal time Italy had a chance to attack on the counter but looked like they purposely slowed down time. I think Italy might be playing for the draw now and counting on their technical players in the penalty shoot outs while I think Spain is going to go full throttle and have probably seen that Italy have dropped off and are not going to be afraid of the counter attack so much. Morata has been running the show since he has come on and I would not be surprised if he did manage to get another goal in extra time. I have put a bet on Italy qualifying via penalties though.

1 - 1 I think Spain is in a better mental condition right now.

Italy via penalties lets go!

[aoluain]

Here we go another 30 minutes, very difficult to call a winner, for me my bet on Italy
is gone but I think Spain may just take it if it doesnt go to penalties.

Italy are creating some chances on the counter but Spain are able to build up successful
attacks, danger on both sides.

The game from both teams was really great, that's the reason why I waited for a goal before placing a bet, I finally won my bet when Italy scores 1 - 0 Spain, I chose Spain after

And again, I'm trying to choose Spain to qualify for the Final, Getting 1.7 Odds, I Hope Spain Can Win Without Penalty Shootout.
