Review of the first half of the match of the 3rd round of the Euro2020 group stage: Italy - Wales
As you might expect, Italy started the game with number one. But the first dangerous moment appeared at the gate of Wales in the 12th minute. But alas, the side judge recorded an offside position. On the 15th minute, the Italian defender Emerson shot into the gate of Wales. But definitely in the hands of the goalkeeper. On the 17th, Toloi hits the pack. Again to no avail.
On the 24th minute, Belotti already punches, but does not fall into the frame. In fact, Wales was only able to respond aggressively in the 27th minute. Gunter was aiming at the near nine. Didn't hit the target. Immediately, Verratti responded with his inaccurate blow. At 30 minutes, Ampadu blocks the blow with his fifth point.
