Utilizando una formación alternativa, Italia venció a Gales por 1-0 para cerrar su participación en el Grupo A de la Euro 2020 con una campaña perfecta: tres triunfos, siete goles a favor y ninguno en contra. Un pleno que nunca antes había ocurrido en la competencia.

El autor de la conquista ante Gales fue Matteo Pessina, mediocampista de la Atalanta quien, por sus gustos e intereses, parece un hombre sacado directamente desde el Renacimiento.

BAKU - Xherdan Shaqiri scored two superb goals as Switzerland secured third place in Group A at Euro 2020 with a 3-1 win over Turkey, but they now face an anxious wait to see if they will reach the last 16.

The Swiss, who finished level on four points with Wales but behind on goal difference, will hope to secure a spot in the knockouts as one of the four best third-placed finishers from the six groups.

For the first time in European Championship history, a nation has won all three of its group stage matches without conceding a goal. Italy defeated Wales 1-0 on Sunday to finish top of Group A and book a Round of 16 trip to Wembley Stadium, where they’ll likely meet either Ukraine or Austria.

Italy manager Roberto Mancini made eight changes to the side that hammered Switzerland on Wednesday, but the Azzurri looked no different in how they went about dominating the opposition.

El Arena Púskas ha propiciado la atmósfera más efervescente en la fase de grupos de la Euro. Sin restricciones de público, los partidos de Hungría han tenido en las tribunas a 60 mil fans, generando un efecto visual colorido y llamativo. Sin embargo, con el pasar de los días, también ha quedado en evidencia un lado bastante oscuro: la intolerancia de un grupo importante de aficionados.

SEVILLE - Spain's Euro 2020 had been turbulent before it began due to COVID-19 complications, but now the crisis is on the pitch where players lack spark, confidence or cutting edge — and are in serious danger of a shock group stage exit.

Saturday's 1-1 draw with Poland was a step back performance-wise from the opening 0-0 draw with Sweden and left Spain in the unexpected position of third in an unimposing Group E and needing to beat Slovakia in their last game to go through.

Alemania se recuperó de su derrota inicial ante Francia, venciendo este sábado a Portugal por 4-2 y manteniendo intactas sus esperanzas de seguir avanzando en la Euro 2020. La gran figura del encuentro fue Robin Gosens, lateral de Atalanta, quien de paso logró perpetrar una dulce venganza personal hacia Cristiano Ronaldo.

Álvaro Morata is always in the right areas as a striker. He just can’t quite figure out the finishing when his team needs it most. 

Morata, who misses more chances than most players ever create, will rue a missed opportunity on a rebound off the post as Spain huffed and puffed to a second straight draw at Euro 2020, this a 1-1 with Poland on Saturday. Not even a first-half goal from Morata will help us forget this latest miss. 

This is the Germany we’ve grown to expect. This was not the Germany Portugal wanted to run into at Euro 2020. Robin Gosens — not Cristiano Ronaldo — was the star man in Saturday’s critical Group F clash, setting up two goals and scoring once to help Germany thrash Portugal 4-2 in Munich.
