📸 Pisilli’s brilliance not enough, Italy U21 second, quarter-final drama | OneFootball

In the final match of Group A of the Under 21 European Championship, Nunziata's Italy faced Spain for supremacy in the group.

In a lively, sparkling game, at times well played and dominated by the Azzurrini, the final 1-1 draw was not enough for the overtaking: due to the goal difference, Spain finishes first. For Italy, in the quarterfinals, either Germany or England, who will compete for the top spot in Group B.

GOAL FROM THE MAN OF THE MARKET, PISILLI'S MASTERPIECE

Spain unlocked the match with one of the men of the market for Serie A: Jesus Rodriguez. The Betis talent took advantage of a not perfect closure of Nunziata's defense, putting the Roja ahead at the 53'.

Italy did not take the hit, on the contrary: after 5 minutes Pisilli took the team on his shoulders equalizing the match with a masterpiece goal.

Having collected a launch from the back, Pisilli avoided a defender and from inside the area he unloaded a powerful right on the far post. A truly beautiful goal that, unfortunately, did not help Italy to grab the top spot.
