Reaching Italy U17. The team, led by coach Massimiliano Favo, secured their place in the European semi-finals this evening by beating England on penalties after the match ended 1-1 in the 90th minute.
At the AEK Arena in Larnaca, Cyprus, England took the lead in the 16th minute through Ethan Nwaneri, a promising youngster from Arsenal. Italy’s equalizer just before the half-hour was scored by Mattia Liberali and it was a masterpiece: before putting the ball in the bottom of the bag, the Milan man highlighted himself with a long series of dribbles that sent the English defense panicking. Harrison’s mistake was decisive in the penalty shootout: Francesco Camarda converted the fifth and decisive penalty for the Azzurri. In the next round, the Italians will challenge Denmark.
