Spain brought calm and tranquility, knowing that the result could already be secured. Vicky López sent the pass to Alexia Putellas and from there it went to Mariona, Alexia finished the play with a simple shot into the hands of goalkeeper Laura Giuliani.
Laura Giuliani can’t take it anymore. Her left thigh is in severe pain, and medical attention is underway. Francesca Durante is preparing to enter the ring. She’s still warming up because they don’t want any problems at the end. Laura will hold on until the substitution can happen.
Now Alexia Putellas shoots wide, Vicky López passes the ball to the queen, but Spain continues to look for the third goal. Alexia remains the best player of the match in this second half, with goalkeeper Giuliani showing pain in her leg.
Mariona Caldentey misses the goal because the ball was saved on the line. Adriana Nanclares takes the plunge and saves her own goal because Cantore’s shot took a slight deflection. Italy is awake.
Aitana Bonmati tries a shot at goal, wins a corner, and the rebound falls to Linari. Salma sends in the cross, but no one can finish. Laura Giuliani sends the ball over. Italy loses possession often; Laura herself was in a bad position on the rebound, but the defense saved it.
The Spanish national team continues to maintain its consistency in attacking. The Italian bench is struggling to find a way into the Reds’ penalty area. Aitana touches the ball, allowing him to go to Méndez.
Spain scores, the score moves to 2-1, Patricia Guijarro scores, all thanks to a poor clearance by the Italian defense, despite Castillo making the individual play, but Lenzini’s poor clearance gives the ball to Patri, who takes advantage to shoot.
Martina Piemonte and Ariana Caruso were looking for a goal, but they took too long to shoot. Spain recovered possession, and there were no immediate substitutions from either side. We continued with the same starting 11 that started the first half.
Four more minutes will be added to the game, and Spain maintains its consistency to push forward and attack in this final stretch of the match. The best thing that can happen now is for these first 45 minutes to end, and for Italy to go to the locker room to rethink a new strategy to hurt the Spanish team.
Referee Elena saves Spain’s score, as she rules offside, so there’s no penalty. Irene Paredes approaches to speak to the referee, Sofia Cantore sends the ball in, and Barbara Bonasea finds the ball with a header, which went over the bar.
A simple penalty review for Italy on a handball. Unfortunately, captain Irene Paredes was involved in the poor clearance, and it could affect the match for the Spanish women’s national team. The referee will resort to VAR.
Salma Paralluelo has to join in the pressure to win the ball back, but Spain easily regains possession. The Spanish midfield remains strong, but now Fernandez plays the ball to Paredes, and from there Italy has to play with the defense.
We’ve reached almost 33 minutes of the match, and there’s a break to attend to Italian goalkeeper Laura Giuliani, but some Italian players are already warming up, under orders from Mr. Andrea Soncin. Italy is still looking for a 2-1 lead, which would break the tie.
Corner kick for Spain, Salma Paralluelo sends the cross but Irene Paredes can’t finish well, it hits her slightly on the body, but she was unlucky, because she was alone, in the counterattack by Martina Piemonte her shot went wide, but there was an offside.
We are almost 30 minutes into the match and Spain continues to maintain consistency in attack and even though the game is tied at one goal, Italy does not lose hope to get out of the defensive zone and remember that with this result both teams are qualified.
Patricia Guijarro’s long-range shot goes wide of goalkeeper Laura Giuliani. Spain continues to attack, with Salma Paralluelo struggling to clear the ball, but Spain continues to attack, passing the ball to Alexia.
Spain continues to play the ball inside Italy’s midfield, but there’s a great connection between the players, so that Alexia Putellas’ attempted cross ends up in the hands of goalkeeper Laura Giuliani.
Spain’s goal, the Red Fury equalized, and they weren’t going to let it go. Athenea Del Castillo fired a superb long-range shot, with great help from Alexia Putellas, who backheeled the ball to her, making it impossible for Laura Giuliani to finish.
Italy’s goal. Elisabetta Oliveiro makes it 1-0, taking advantage of the rebound, as Mariona passes the ball to her alone. Adriana Nanclares can’t save it. With an assist against Mariona, she gives Italy a gift, and now they’re leading 1-0.
Another corner kick, because Leila sent the ball wide, on the left side. Spain was in danger, another cross from Manuela Giugliano, but her shot hit the crossbar. Elena Linari shot but there was no luck, the captain won the set piece.
