This Is the Mask Mbappé Will Wear at the Euros

The first half of the match was marked by the equality of conditions between both teams. Although Spain drove their rival crazy with the runs of Williams and Lamine Yamal, Italy’s solidity and their approaches to the opponent's field were something to be wary of. However, an action in the second half changed the entire match.

A run by Nico Williams down the left wing was the arrow that finally pierced the impenetrable Italian defense. After a cross, Morata managed to deflect the ball, causing Calafiori to make a defensive error. In his attempt to save his goal, he ended up scoring an own goal in the 55th minute. Thus, he became the second Italian player to score an own goal in the history of the EURO and World Cups for Italy.
