LUBIANA (SLOVENIA) (ITALPRESS) – Paolo Nicolato’s dream of the blue team at the under 21 European Championships is shattered in the quarter-finals. Conceicao that are worth the pass for the semifinal. Italy at the start of the game is a distant relative of the one seen against Spain two months ago. After 5 ‘Braganca uses a central corridor and explodes a shot that is deflected for a corner by Carnesecchi. But on the next corner, there is the 1-0 of Portugal: Dany Mota coordinates on a bell ball and in an overhead sign the 1-0 that allows Portugal to lead the game according to the script that is more in the strings of Rui Jorge’s men. Italy keeps the departments short, but Portugal dribbles between the lines without difficulty. And at 31 ‘Dany Mota always repeats himself on the developments of a corner: Braganca’s header, hooking and winning conclusion of the former Entella. But before the double whistle it is Italy to score from a corner kick: cross in the center, Frattesi’s header deviation and tap in from a few steps away from the usual Pobega. The match lights up in the second half and within 5 ‘there is a goal each: before the Lusitanians in the 58th minute with Ramos in a split on Queiros’ side; then at 60 ‘the Azzurrini on the usual Frattesi-Scamacca axis in the area with assist and a winning split. The two former Roma build the network of hope and in the last half hour Nicolato also plays the cards Maggiore, Sottil and Cutrone. And it is the former Milan to sign the 3-3: at 89 ‘Sottil breaks through on the left and crosses for the ’98 class that anticipates Queiros and drags the match to extra time. But in the 2 ‘of extra time Italy remains in 10: Lovato hits Mota and remedies the second yellow card and the seventh expulsion of the blue in this tournament. And the joke is around the corner: at 109 ‘Jota wedges in the area on Baró’s touch and signs the 4-3 before Conceicao’s definitive 5-3 on a Lusitanian counterattack in the prairie left by Italy.
