Resumen del partido
Match summary.
The first 20 minutes were uncertain for both teams, both played their game, and there was a constant back and forth. Italy had the ball, and Wales was pressing. At the 25th minute, the clearest of the match came for the Azzurri, when Bernardeschi passed to Belotti on the flank, who crossed but no one was able to push it in. After that, it was all Italy, possession of the ball and approaches to Ward's area. In the 39th minute, the first for the Azzurri came after a free kick, Verratti subtly put the ball in the box, in a prepared play and Pessina appeared who only had to push it to the goalkeeper's right post. Italy tried again but it would be 45' and without adding the referee Ovidiu Hategan would whistle the end of the first half. Italy in these first minutes was clearly superior in play and dominance, not like in the first two games, but still they did not need much to mark territory. There was rarely anything creative on the part of the Welsh, who did little more than generate pressure in some areas of the field.
The second half was more of the same, but this time we saw a more determined Wales with more shots at goalkeeper Donnarumma's goal. At 52' Italy would be close to score the second of the match after a set piece, Italy made another prepared play and Bernardeschi would hit it and the ball would crash into the crossbar. At 53' Ramsey was left alone, the Juventus midfielder was left alone in the area, but he missed a key play for the Welsh team. At 55' the Welsh player Ampadu was sent off after a hard tackle, thus stepping on the Juventus player Bernardeschi, and so the Welsh were left with 10 men. Italy continued looking to increase the score, and continued to dominate the game. In the 76th minute came the clearest for Wales, Bale volleyed it in! A free-kick at the far post was sent to the far post and Rodon headed it to the opposite side. There was Bale alone, who volleyed it first time but his left-footed shot went over the crossbar. And so the chance for an equalizer was lost. At 83' Italy made a curious substitution, taking off goalkeeper Donnarumma and giving a few minutes to Sirigu, the Torino goalkeeper. Hategan added three minutes after the hour and a half mark. And after the whistle the Italian team celebrated this victory and the perfect qualification to the round of 16.

The Azzurri showed with good soccer why they are still a favorite to win this precious tournament. For the first time in their history, Mancini's men managed to win their first three matches in the group stage of the European Championship. Truly, this is an incredible team, which achieved its "10" consecutive victories, and remains undefeated with "30" matches without losing. Italy has scored seven goals so far in the European Championship. The Azzurri have never scored more cumulative goals in the first three group matches of the European Championship and the World Cup (seven goals also in 1998). The four-time world champions must now wait to see who will be their opponent in the round of 16. For now, they can celebrate and prepare for the next match.
If there is anything else to add, it is that this team is plausible, they play well. A balanced soccer in both aspects, defensive and offensive, very solid in all its lines. they exert a lot of pressure in all fields. There is a lot of relief, and collective play. I liked Locatelli in this tournament, in the midfield, Italy's left side with Spinazzola's deployments making triangulations with Insigne. And not to mention their central defenders who are a raincoat to give PSG goalkeeper Donnarumma a lot of peace of mind. Today I highlight the game of Verratti in his return to the national team, he played and fulfilled. In my opinion we may be in the sights of the most complete and powerful Italy in history.

Italy has proved to be the best team in the tournament so far. They won their 3 matches scoring 7 goals in total, which was a surprise because Italy is famous for being a defensive team that always wins 1-0. I still think France is the favorite though, but they are looking weaker after they tie against Hungary. So far, no French player has scored a single goal which is very worrisome.
